about

Enmity and war...

lyrics

Who do you think you are
And who do you think I am?
Are we ever gonna listen, or are we gonna shoot our guns again?
Time's running down now, the general store's been shut down
I guess I'll meet you somewhere out there in this wasted land
I keep on asking myself if you ride up on that day
Without a pistol in your hand
If I won't kill you where you stand

Can you tell me who once upon a time did divide our language?
The tale is told but has grown so old they just call it a myth
Do you believe that our Grandfathers were brothers?
And were baptized, nursed and cried underneath the same roof?
Do you sometimes wish you could bow and ask my forgiveness
Cause I'm sick and tired of hearing preaching from the choir
I've drunk too long from that bottle - once fed, now it poisons
I must be reborn, yes'n clear my head, or I must be dead

Brother, hear my prayer in the wind coming through this valley
Meet me at dusk at the crossroads beneath the old raven's tree
Bring your book, and I'll bring mine, and we'll light a fire
We'll watch the sun rise and see what tomorrow's gonna be
We'll watch the sun rise and see what tomorrow's gonna be.
