When the moon is on the rise And rivers cross the tide When black is on the run Then judgement comes
When smoke is going down And the earth is tumbling round See your king is on his knees He's your enemy
When the devil comes to pray And hangmen what to stay Watch the fire's burning high It's time to die
After all is said and done And you feel lost and numb With the king is on his knees What a glory peace
There's no return No way to stop them kill and let them burn?
And when the nails have come to rust Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
When jury comes to town And our saviour lost his crown Like beggars in the night He will lose his life
When the devil comes to pray And the hangmen wants to stay Watch the fire's burning high It's time to die
There's no return No way to stop them kill and let them burn?
And when the nails have come to rust Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
White men have judged about their life White men have failed the signs Of hope and peaceful times White robes have written history White robes refuse to see
