Declaration lyrics

Love on this wasteland holds no dominion
I refuse to lay me down
On the grapevine comes the saying
"Son, you'll reap whatever you sow"
I sow the seeds of my love
Deep undying true love I sow

There is beauty out there somewhere
I will leave no stone unturned
There's a guitar and a bugle
I hear the sound of distant drums
Fire and water rage through my mind
(Love on)

Come roll out the red carpet,
Come bugler sound the horn
Cause the hero is returning
Gotta welcome him to his home
Don抰 say I didn抰 warn you
This prophecy抯 coming true
I can hear the cavalry thundering
Riding over the hill
Riding over the hill

COME ON DOWN AND MEET YOUR MAKER
COME ON DOWN AND MAKE THE STAND
COME ON DOWN
COME ON DOWN

You are the power and the glory
You are the weakness in defeat
Like the rise and fall of the British Empire
You make me sick with your conceit

You are, you are the weakness
You are, you are, you are
The sickness that抯 in my soul
You are you are you are the maker
You are called greed and you抮e a cheat
You are you are you are the deceiver

And if you know what is the answer
Why don抰 you tell me
What does it feel like
To be free
What does it feel like

Take a look at the punks
On the run from all the ministers
Collecting for the criminals
And the judges or the blame
If you抮e innocent or you抮e guilty
Or you抳e never been given a chance
And you'll never find an answer

It's funny how they shoot you down
When your hands are held up high
And you open up your heart and soul
But that's not enough for most.

I remember this much
There is nothing
You shouldn't speak of
If you got something to say
And there is no one
To be scared of
Just get them out of the way

GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
My heart is open wide

"Son" said the preacher " æ…ºor I break the news
Let me take you to the heart of this promised land"
Built on the green hill far away
Where somebody cried Somebody died in the wind
You don抰 have to run to the palaces of gold
Bricks and mortar one day must surely fall
And son you will look Monroe right between the eyes
And pray that somehow

People
Light up your light tonight
I wanna see you shine

Fight despair
Don抰 let it get you down
Don抰 let it tie you down

There抯 a man with a wife and three children
Who抯 been told he can抰 work
There抯 a boy who抯 been told there抯 no future
He抯 been led by the blind.

And now they're trying to take my life away
Forever young I cannot stay
Hey
On every corner I can see them there
They don't know my name they don't know my kind
They're after you with their promises
(Promises of love)
They're after you to sign your life away
(Yeah, yeaoh)

Sixty-eight Guns will never die
Sixty-eight Guns our battle cry
Sixty-eight Guns
Sixty-eight Guns

Your head on my shoulder
Two months you抳e been a soldier
I feel so sick inside
Two months you抎 have been alive

So no one here knows your surname
No one knows from where you came
The Red Cross takes you to your grave
For which your government kindly pays

WHITE CROSS upon the hillside
There lies that unknown soldier
No one can remember your name

Born into a war and peace
Forced to choose between right and wrong
Each man kills the thing he loves
For better or for worse
Face to face with the ragged truth
Mixed up and torn in two
Turned your back on the only thing
That could save you from yourself

Where were you hiding
When the storm broke
When the rain began to fall
When the thunder and the lightning struck

Well,
There's a young boy standing
Staring at the world
You know he can't control his anger
You can see it in his eyes
He's gonna smash the window
He's gonna tear down the walls
Hey mister you don't understand it
Take a look at it through my eyes
These are the kids they're powerless
So you tell them so
These are the kids they're powerful
Don't say you haven't been told

Take this song of freedomPut it on and arm yourself for the fightOur hearts must have the courageto keep on marching on and on

Well,
There's a young boy standing
Staring at the world
You know he can't control his anger
You can see it in his eyes
He's gonna smash the window
He's gonna tear down the walls
Hey mister you don't understand it
Take a look at it through my eyes
These are the kids they're powerless
So you tell them so
These are the kids they're powerful
Don't say you haven't been told

Oh I have been out searching with the black book in my hand
And I've looked between the lines that lie on the pages that I tread
I met the walking dude,religious, in his wom down cowboy boots
He walked liked no man on earth
I swear he had no name (had no name)
I swear he had no name

Come on down & meet your maker
Come on down & make the stand
Come on down, come on down,
