lyrics

The Children Wont Eat
Tall ships bared prow to wave,
On available wind to trade.
A cargo of words for the wholesome way.
Violence rent through oceans,
Their words plied people unknown.
Questions chart the future course.
Questions through to love and remorse.
Honesty you say shall save the way,
But who’ll hold hands with your moral plans?
Who’ll take up sides when you offer such guides?
Who?
Not I.
With what have you left us to barter.
Empty Hands.
All you offer, no quarter.
Empty hands.
I can see through all your aims,
And your so-called justified claims.
You can own all the land,
But you can’t own the hands that works it.
Empty hands.
And we offer no resistance,
And only labour from our pride.
Seems a far cry from heaven,
And further still from the truth.
Shepherds graze theirs flocks,
On the sour taste of the noose.
And ghosts on pale sails,
Hold no sway with the wind.
Just the pleasure of the moment,
From the surrogacy of sins.
Empty hands.
