Phil Ochs - Rivers Of The Blood Lyrics
Have you seen the rivers of the blood?First a trickle, then a flood --First the oceans pounding roar,Then a tidal wave hits upon the shore.Knives and arrows fell like rain,And the powder burst aflame,And the flames they flew so high --Dropped their poison down from the sky.In the shadow of the bygone daysMillions died in a million ways.Now the whining of the missiles call:Its time to rise or its time to fall,For now one million bombs are stored,But they keep building more and more.Cant you hear the warning sound?Dont you know theres still time to turn around?In the shadow of the bygone daysMillions died in a million ways.Now the whining of the missiles call:Its time to rise or its time to fall,For now one million bombs are stored,They keep building more and more.Cant you you hear the warning sound?Dont you know theres still time to turn around?-- time to turn around.
