Solas - Song Of Choice lyrics

rate me

Early every year the seeds are growing

Unseen, unheard, they lie beneath the ground

Would you know before the leaves are showing

That with weeds all your garden will abound?

If you close your eyes, stop your ears

Hold your mouth, how can you know?

The seeds you cannot see may not be there

The seeds you cannot hear may never grow

In January you've still got the choice

You can cut the weeds before they start to bud

If you leave them to grow higher, they'll silence your voice

And in December you may pay with your blood

Close your eyes, stop your ears

Close your mouth and take it slow

Let others take the lead and you bring up the rear

And later you can say you didn't know

Everyday another vulture takes flight

There's another danger born every morning

In the darkness of your blindness the beast will learn to bite

How can you fight if you can't recognize a warning?

Close your eyes, stop your ears

Close your mouth and then you know

Let others take the lead and you bring up the rear

And later you can say you didn't know

Today you may earn a living wage

Tomorrow you may be on the dole

Though there's millions going hungry, you needn't disengage

For it's them not you that's fallen in the hole

It's all right for you if you run with the pack

It's all right if you agree with all they do

If the fascist's party slowly climbing back

It's not here yet, so what's it got to do with you?

The weeds are all around us and they're growing

It will soon be too late for the knife

If you leave them on the wind that around the world is blowing

You may pay for your silence with your life

Close your eyes, stop your ears

Close your mouth, they're never there

And if it happens here, they'll never come for you

Because they'll know you really didn't care<br />

<br />
