The Chant Has Begun

歌詞

The spirit of the people The spirit of the people The spirit of the people The rhythm has begun Old men with their protocol Lead us off to war Sometimes we don't even know What we're fighting for Marching to the beat of their drum Leaders we no longer trust Told too many lies The promises they made to us Were never realized Hear me now the chant has begun Nowhere left to turn No-one left to turn to Voices raised in anger They don't have the answer Our whole world's in danger Oil slicks on the ebbing tide Progress out of hand Blind men choke on swallowed pride Heads down in the sand Don't want to see the damage they've done Trees destroyed by acid rain Falling from the skies When our children place the blame Who will tell them why Hear me now the chant has begun Why is love so rare All this talk of warfare Voices raised in anger They don't have an answer Pass the word along We can wait no longer Too much blind destruction Follow love's instructions Now the chant has begun Make your choice there's no escape Add your voice, the chant has begun
