Horses & Chariots
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Horses and chariots
Churches and states
Devotion turns dangerous
When armed with rules of faith
Prisoners and patriots
Angels and saints
If minds are persuaded enough
Compassion turns to hate
(So when the)
Time comes to bury us
Together we must stay
(Don't let the)
Horses and chariots
Drag our love away
No!
Borders and boundary signs
Drawn by red tape
Those who colour outside of the lines
Define the human race
Warlords and suffering eyes
Soldiers and slaves
The side of the fence that we climb
Determines who's afraid
(So when the)
Time comes to bury us
Together we must stay
(Don't let the)
Horses and chariots
Drag our love away
(Until we)
Swallow our pride
Our hearts will collide
And the skies of hysteria will
Come rain down on you
Cleanse the salt from the hands to divide
Our world in two
(So when the)
Time comes to bury us
Well how can you live while so many die?
(Don't let the)
Horses and chariots
Hide the view from their eyes
(Until we)
Swallow our pride
We've chosen a faith, we've chosen a side
(Until we)
Swallow our pride
Our hearts will collide
