Gowan - Keep the Tension On
Album:
(Lawrence Gowan)"All's well", say the tower bells
And have for many years
But, "Not so", say the ones who know
Through the veil of tears
A cold place is the world they face
Though one they never made
Held back by the cruel attack
They remain afraid
And dream to share the light again
Here we're living
In the golden age
The world has never
Set a brighter stage
While many ragged souls are bleeding
Some have just begun to fight
Can't change an angry world
Overnight
Old scores, settled years before
Must they live again
To run wild with the future child
And to bring new pain
Dark days seem to find a way
To pass their sins along
To sons born on a planet torn
Where they don't belong
We dream to share the light again
Here we're living
In the golden age
The world has never
Set a brighter stage
While many ragged souls are bleeding
Some have just begun to fight
Can't change an angry world
Overnight
