Grains of Sand Lyrics & Tabs by Time Machine
Grains of Sand
guitar chords lyrics
grains of sand
in the hourglass turning
years and ages like smoke in the air
marking time with bloodshed and battles
kings and queens that
still handle our lives
from the sands of Egypt
to the towers of New York
a never-ending war for controlling our minds
once it was the Pharaohs
now it's called Mr. President
just another empire is controlling our lives
will it never ever end?
when a dissident talks
like the Nazarene rebel
will it never ever end?
when a dissident talks
like the Nazarene rebel
systematically ends on the cross
when the time for change
by the masses is claimed for
anti-riot police forces strike in
how many wars, how many dead,
how many innocent have to die?
how much money, how much oil,
how many lives on sale?
how many wars, how many dead,
how many lives on sale?
as ages go by technology changes
but the purpose is always the same
religion, ideals used as excuses
history unfolds on the shots of the guns
when a man dressed in gold
talks of poverty and freedom
as Peter and Paul died in Rome
when a king in the East
kills his people with gases
history's best repeats itself
how many wars, how many dead,
how many innocent have to die?
how much money, how much oil,
how many lives on sale?
how many wars, how many dead,
how many lives on sale?
