Faces in thw window Songtext

von Tony Carey

There was a man and he knew what he wanted
He would not rest till it finally came
Throughout the land all the people were haunted
Till they were blessed with red ashes and rain

Take a letter to the king of the hill
Say the people were dying
They're dying still
Tell him only that the world's on fire tonight

And I see faces in the window
Men outside my door
There's a candle burning bright
In the kitchen tonight
As the children march to war

This is a time when the fools have the trigger
When we were sure they were finally gone
They draw the lines set the rules get bigger
And you and me are only carried along

Take a letter to the king of the hill
Say the people were dying
They're dying still
Tell him only that the world's on fire tonight

And I see faces in the window...
