Horses & Chariots

Horses and Chariots
churches and states
devotion turns dangerous
when armed with rules of faith

prisoners and patriots
angels and saints
if minds are persuaded enough
compassion turns to hate

So when the tide comes to bury us
together we must stay
don't let their horses and chariots
drag our love away

borders and boundary signs
drawn by red tape
those who colour outside of the lines
define the human race

warlords and suffering eyes
soldiers and slaves
the side of the fence that we climb
determines who's afraid

So when the tide comes to bury us
together we must stay
don't let their horses and chariots
drag our love away
until we swallow our pride
our hearts will collide

and the skies of hysteria
will come rain down on you
cleanse the salt from the hands
who divide our world in two

So when the tide comes to bury us
we're lucky to live while so many die
don't let their horses and chariots
if only we saw the view from their eyes
until we swallow our pride
we've chosen a faith, we've chosen a side
until we swallow our pride
our hearts will collide
