Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I've wept for those who suffer long

But how I weep for those who've gone

Into rooms of grief and questioned wrong

But keep on killing

[Verse 2]

It's in the soul to feel such things

But weak to watch without speaking

Oh, what mercy sadness brings

If God be willing

[Verse 3]

There is a train that's heading straight

To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate

And on the way, child and man

And woman wait, watch and wait

For redemption day

[Verse 4]

Fire rages in the streets

And swallows everything it meets

It's just an image often seen

On television

[Verse 5]

Come leaders, come you men of great

Let us hear you pontificate

Your many virtues laid to waste

And we aren't listening

[Verse 6]

What do you have for us today?

Throw us a bone but save the plate

Oh, why we wait until so late?

Was there no oil to excavate?

No riches in trade for the fate

Of every person who died in hate

Throw us a bone, you men of great

[Verse 7]

There is a train that's heading straight

To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate

And on the way, child and man

And woman wait, watch and wait

For redemption day

[Verse 8]

It's buried in the countryside

It's exploding in the shells of night

It's everywhere a baby cries
