Peace Be With Thee

Rise born To love or hate Right or sin Destroy create Not give a hang One yin one yang Balanced to swing Time's tapping drum Shrilly pipes blow As we war with ourselves Over land we can’t own Into which we all drop Improving the crop So seeds we have sown Can become what we’ve known Until later we’ve grown Into something we’re fated to be angelic devils and devilish angels Eternally lonely and free Imagine a world full of graveyards As churches cathedrals inspire us We can dance twixt the tombs till eternity comes To polish the stones and admire us The peace of mankind that he just couldn’t find in the warmth of the earth’s cooling fire Is finally there to enjoy and compare To lost trees and dead seas and green clouds We can rock and roll turning Over in turn Silently screaming in shrouds The one and the only ever so lonely Fool on the hill can attest To the time and the cost With the rhymes of the lost Written in stone for the rest
