Blood on Scarlet Robes

I watch the news and politicians' fears I see the stains left by our childrens' tears I feel the dust falling on empty roads But no one sees the blood on scarlet robes Men of peace who try to hide the truth Tell us lies and just evade the proof In deserted towns, the sky explodes Leaving only blood on scarlet robes Drop by drop we loose our dignity Drop by drop we loose humility Drop by drop we slowly loose our hopes Tiny drops unseen on scarlet robes There is no oil here only wells of fears No one's getting rich selling children's tears People dying as the harsh wind blows Drying drops of blood on scarlet robes
