Robert Cray - Distant Shore Lyrics
An ancient battle
In an ancient land
Swept away with anger
Through the streets, they ran
Block to block
Man to man
They fought hand to hand
And war, begat war
All on a distant shore
Who are they?
The people that they seek
Innocent or guilty?
For harm and injury
Not the old
It's hard to find
The truth untold
Crucify them, Crucify them!
They did shout
All would suffer
There would be no doubt
That war begat war
All on a distant shore
Hidden in the back
Behind all their anger
There stands greed
And all that it needs
Greed for the money
Greed for the power
Many will die
For few to realize
Mercy, mercy!
The angels cried
Remember the lies
Of those that die
Cause war begat war
All on a distant shore
Just because they say it
Doesn't make it so
Some day they'll see that
Then they'll fight no more
Cause war begat war
War begat war
On a distant shore
Someday they'll see it
And they'll fight no more
Cause war begat war
(Just because they say it)
(Doesn't make it so)
(Some day they'll see that)
(Then they'll fight no more)
Mmmmm
