Pride and Passion Songtext
von Mountain

One man′s life passed all in needing
Words out loud that won't repeating
Fathers passed to sons, they′re craving
Woman's love that children's saving
Kings who walk in banners waving still

I have no heart for listening
To the men who talk of peace
They′re putting all their nonsense in my way
Won′t you please, my love
Please rest your tired little head
We've been talking half the night
And there′s so much more to say

Mothers asking for just one more time
Before their babies come
And whistling in the snows of dusty fatigue
Someplace there's a better look of time
That′s loving turned to stone
But the sun is shining yellow
And it's time to shine on me


Some are breathing discontent
In the circling rip of life
And frozen little soldiers guard their homeland through the night
And a million nameless candles flicker out this one last time
And the heartbeat in that aching crowd
No, it will not beat with mine

The answers were all given
To the faces now in tears
And Heaven led us all into the war
The children who once laughed
Have disappeared behind the sun
It′s the season for the living
But they're living in a war

Some are breathing discontent
In the circling rip of life
And frozen little soldiers guard their homeland through the night
So a million nameless candles flicker out this one last time
And the heartbeat in that aching crowd
No, it will not beat with mine

Hearts all filled of pride and passion
Sacrificed in blood of nations
Stand we here in humble pleading
Save the souls who win retreating
Pray for peace and ease the needing now
