Sins Of The Fathers

歌詞

Once upon a time, not so long ago When things were much much simple, And time would travel slow. There came a righteous stranger, With a bible in his hand. To educate the sinners And liberate the land. Chorus Sins of the fathers ---------- from old In a never ending circle Of people bought and sold So the wretched of the earth Would huddle from the cold As a ship of fools go sailing On an ocean black as gold So come and sit beside me And let my tale unfold In a land on milk and honey Where the truth must not be told As men of right and reason Let the devil take their soul For greed and fame and fortune And a river black as gold Chorus. And all the non believers Where hiding from the light As a thousand burning crosses Were scattered in the night. The theives and the vagabonds Were sinking in the sand As a righteous lord and master Stretches out a helping hand. Chorus. And those who had to suffer The sick the young the old Where sacrifice to fortune And left out in the cold So with this new arrangement The leaders sold their souls For bangles, beads and baubles And a river black as gold Chorus x 2
