Horses & Chariots

Horses and chariots, churches and states

Devotion turns dangerous when armed with rules of faith

Prisoners and patriots, angels and saints

If minds are persuaded enough compassion turns to hate

So when the tide comes to bury us, together we must stay

Don't let their horses and chariots drag our love away, no

Borders and boundary signs drawn by red tape

Those who colour outside of the lines define the human race

Warlords and suffering eyes, soldiers and slaves

The side of the fence that we climb determines who's afraid

So when the tide comes to bury us, together we must stay

Don't let their horses and chariots drag our love away

Until we swallow our pride our hearts will collide

And the skies of hysteria will come rain down on you

Cleanse the salt from the hands who divide our world in two

So when the tide comes to bury us we're lucky to live while so many die

Don't let the horses and chariots if only we saw the view from their eyes

Until we swallow our pride we've chosen a faith

We've chosen a side until we swallow our pride, our hearts will collide
