Roy Buchanan - Black Autumn lyrics

rate me

Subways stumbling through the night<br />

Flashing rows of neon lights<br />

People with no place to go<br />

Rushing madly to and frow<br />

A shrine where all the nameless robots<br />

Pay homage to their countrey idol<br />

Got to pass the time of day<br />

Between the canyon walls of stone and steel<br />

The misers count their gold<br />

And wish the world would spin the other way<br />

<br />

Silver mantles speak the shouting<br />

Talking loud but saying nothing<br />

Sounds of hungry children crying<br />

Drowned out by cannon firing<br />

As the giant with the passing face manipulates his toys<br />

And one by one they're trampled in the mud<br />

The high priest and his sacrificial counsel hold a meeting<br />

And demand another sacrifice of blood
