From the recording cOnTAinMEnt 2020
By the time April 2020 had come the death toll in NY had climbed to stunning levels. We all kind of became numb to the numbers after a while and began to realize what things like the Black Plague must have been like. This was not the first or the last time this would happen.
Lyrics
Conquistadors and Kings
We’re at a crossroad
Oh, there’s no turning back
Three generations
have walked this planet
With only man-made tears
In their tracks
But here we are now
Like so many times
Oh, how we thought
We were so grand
Here we stand now
Where kings have stood
Softly sobbing in our hands
Here we stand now
Humbled by
What we can’t even comprehend
Powerless to watch the silence
Of so many souls blowing in the wind
Oh, here we are now
Once again
With tears in our eyes
That are not ours
To see the ones, we love
To see the ones, we love
Laid down to die
Oh, knights have fallen
Bishops have fallen in their wake
Conquistadors laughed loudly
But their children
Met the same fate
We’re all one people
We all walk on this same ground
For a thousand years
Our mighty leaders swore
They could save us
Well look what we found
Oh, here we are now
Once again
With tears in our eyes
That are not ours
To see the ones, we love
To see the ones, we love
Laid down to die
==
Oh, god
god
Give me the strength
To carry on
Oh, it brings me
God It brings me
It brings me
To my knees
Oh, here we are now
Once again
With tears in our eyes
That are not ours
To see the ones, we love
To see the ones, we love
Laid down to die
Laid down to die
Laid down to die
