Burning Ships
I hear the air raid sirensHowling out so violentAnd the churchyard gates are closedI've seen the rich men smilingNew born babies dyingAnd I don't know where to goMachines guns cracking snappingThe sound of windows smashingI'm afraid I'll lose my mindI hear strange sounds like singingAnd I'd do anythingTo be at peace with you tonightWell, I'll make this all quite clearYou see, I'm kinda young in yearsAnd I've found myself aboard This broken burning shipLucia sits beside youShedding all the virtueSmiling with her glazed blue eyesAll that she's been throughAsking if it's trueThat they've only told her liesI've watched her trampled underFor a pusher's plunderI'd like to break his head in twoIf I had the force of thunder,I'd smash you all asunderFor the way she's been abused Aus Songtexte Mania
