The dances lasted all night
and that night lasted a life time
Knives in heart
I was taught to salute that knife

Living on a prayer
I was told my soldier
would fight
come hail or storm

He had to protect our dances
as we danced to the preachers song of peace
and harmony

The earth now cut in to
brilliant pieces
with sharp knives they called
with pride their wrinkled flags
screaming and falling
to live
we all died
fudged
