Bless 'em All Songtext
von Tim Booth

We survived another night
Tortured by reflected light
All our battles are in the mind
Revenge is never without cost
Can′t retrieve the things you lost
Please remind me what this war was for
To the south there's a storm tonight
Off to the east a force is rising
In the West we must agree to disagree
And the hail balls down hard
And the walls cry
Love is the cure
And the heart it breaks break breaks
Cracks in the sidewalk
Chase veins across freeways write
Love is the cure
As the earth it shakes shake shakes
Bless them all
Bless them all
Beyond understanding


Please don′t let the fires go out
Hope's the antidote to doubt
Way too soon to say we've done our best
Luck has borne me in the West
I can choose to be oppressed
I mostly choose to feather my own nest
We came across in this awful light
Depends upon the lens you′re using
We′ll not go quietly you should know by now
Bless them all, bless them all
Beyond understanding
Bless them all, bless them all
Beyond understanding
Will someone please explain to me what makes a human being
Love is the cure
As the earth tilts 6°
We succumb to some dumb calling
One-man stand against tanks
Love is the cure
Let go and set yourself free
Towers falling slow motion
Sky scraping one by one
Love is the cure
For the land of the ill at ease
Lifted clean into the air in the fist of a twister
Love is the cure
Crash down on the sickening breeze
We built these walls piece by piece
Trade spawned, turtle speed
Love is the cure
Blown away in a blink or a sneeze
Through the land I breeze
Updrafts lift me
Love is the cure
From these heights I see
