Hellfire Blues Songtext
von Dave Cousins

It was quiet for days then the skies turned red with spite
It was quiet for days then the skies turned red with spite
All hell′s breaking out along the coast tonight
In a back street row, a row of houses burned
In a back street row, a row of houses burned
There's blood seeping out where someone′s head was turned


From high above the bombs were howling down
From high above the bombs were howling down
As the sirens sounded out across the town
Tracers flashed through the jet black oily smoke
Tracers flashed through the jet black oily smoke
Shells exploded but the spirit never broke

Came all clear and the bluebirds flew day long
Came all clear and the bluebirds flew day long
Spirits sang a patriotic song
I looked out to sea, through the sirens ebbing eyes
I looked out to sea, through the sirens ebbing eyes
God rest his soul for the ever open skies

God only knows we don't need war no more
God only knows we don't need war no more
God only knows we don′t need war no more
