From the recording Haunting Times
Lyrics
Dark moon rising
Mothers crying
Meanwhile the wolf pack is gathering here
The media cheers
While profiteers
Sell empty dreams to the sound of silent tears
After all the oppression here
I don’t mind if you don’t mind that you don’t want to be free
Our fathers died for our liberty
But I don’t care if you don’t care if no-one cares at all
The hard right rises
While fear divides us
Meanwhile we worship at the cult of celebrity
And the storm clouds gather overhead
A wise man recalls what the good book said
Is freedom worth a moment of our time
While the blind lead the blind
Is our history a mystery
To us all
How long must we wait for the bell to toll...?
How long
I said how long
How long until the bell tolls
The good book’s pages
Now empty phrases
One good man’s word
Well it’s not enough
The eagle’s rising
Truth’s capsizing
How long......?
I said how long......?
After all the oppression here
Don’t understand why you don’t mind that you don’t want to be free
Our fathers died for our liberty
You have to care why don’t you care why no-one cares at all
When black meets white and we dare to dream
When there is nothing in between us
Then we’ve got it all
False prophets, priests and politicians
Well they’ve all had their say
And the liars and the cheats and those who want to fool us all
Well they’ll all bow down and answer to the lies
One day…….
One day, one day in our lives
(When the Bell tolls)
One day one day in our lives
(When the Bell tolls)
One day one day in our lives
(When the Bell tolls)
