Different Times Different Places

Now that our flag is fluttering on top
of the highest tower of the town,
I watch the horizon all around me
everything around is under my control

But how can sleep the eye behind the lid
on evil such as those to rouse every
sleeper while your brothers have no place
to rest but the stomach of the vultures

different times and different places
in the name of Love and Truth oh
different peoples and different races
or in the name of their own purpose?

Faith is chocked by slip noose on public squares
from the ground raises a scary fog
sickening reek invades nostrils and lungs
History’s broken Faith is blocked

Neither treason mow-down of thousands innocents
women and children has been useful
beaten and dishonored but still alive
our caravan crosses the desert

Raised was the curtain, cleared away the veal
Shattered the cover to relight the pearl
To let the full moon rise in through the dark
The holy rock came back to its splendor

different times and different places
in the name of Love and Truth oh
different peoples and different races
or in the name of their own purpose?

Faith is chocked by slip noose on public squares
from the ground raises a scary fog
sickening reek invades nostrils and lungs
History’s broken forever

Centuries have passed since those dark cruel times
thousands lives burned in a nutshell
on the new land side, as on the world wide
who once was lord, now’s beast of hell
