Grains of Sand

歌詞

Grains of sand In the hourglass turning Years & ages like smoke in the air Marking time with bloodshed & battles Kings & queens that still handle our lives From the sands of Egypt To the towers of New York A never-ending war for controlling our minds Once it was the pharaohs Now it's called Mr. President Just another empire is controlling our lives Will it never end? When a dissident talks Like the Nazarene rebel Systematically ends on the cross When the time for a change By the masses is claimed for Anti-riot police forces strike in How many wars, how many dead How many innocent have to die How much money, how much oil How many lives for sale for gold? How many wars, how many dead How many lives on sale? As ages go by technology changes But the purpose is always the same Religion, ideas used as excuses History unfolds on the shots of guns When a man dressed in gold Talks of poverty & freedom As Peter & Paul died in Rome When a king in the East Kills his people with gases History's best repeats itself
