Holy Man
Ironware Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They witnessed the perfect crime
For ages their story has been told
What could they do, what could be done
A dangerous struggle in a dangerous time
Tell me would I understand
Stand up and reclaim your rights
Give me a sign from the sky
Make my voice echo through the night
And all the world can see
A dream made for you and for me
They searched for peace and faced war
Would they rise or would they fall
In an evil time without control
They lost their pride, they lost their lives
They were struggling in a dangerous time
Awaiting a hero to arise
Where's the end and what is your goal
In this time preparing for war
Give me a sign from the sky
Make my voice echo through the night
And all the world can see
A dream made for you and for me
Holy man show us the way
To mother earth heal us again
Find the cure to our poisoned hearts
Will we ever find our freedom again
Give me a sign from the sky
Make my voice echo through the night
And all the world can see
A dream made for you and for me
A holy sign from the sky
Make my voice echo through the night
And all the world can see
A dream made for you and for me
Holy man show us the way
To mother earth heal us again

They lost their pride, they lost their lives
They were defeated, they were killed
They witnessed the perfect crime
They experienced a terrible injustice
For ages their story has been told
Their tale has endured through many years
What could they do, what could be done
They were powerless, with no solution in sight
A dangerous struggle in a dangerous time
A difficult fight during uncertain times
Tell me would I understand
Questioning if someone else can comprehend their situation
Stand up and reclaim your rights
Defend and assert your entitlements
Raise your hands to the endless sky
To reach out and strive for something beyond oneself
Give me a sign from the sky
Requesting divine intervention
Make my voice echo through the night
Wanting their message to resonate clearly
And all the world can see
Desiring to inspire others
A dream made for you and for me
A shared goal to aspire towards
They searched for peace and faced war
Looking for harmony but encountering conflict
Would they rise or would they fall
Wondering if they would succeed or fail
In an evil time without control
Living during a dark period with no influence
Awaiting a hero to arise
Hoping for a savior to emerge
Where's the end and what is your goal
Asking what the ultimate objective is
In this time preparing for war
Gearing up for conflict
Holy man show us the way
Asking a spiritual leader to guide
To mother earth heal us again
To be restored by the planet
Find the cure to our poisoned hearts
Discovering how to alleviate emotional pain and suffering
Will we ever find our freedom again
Questioning if liberation is possible
A holy sign from the sky
A symbol of divine intervention

Ah... vilka minnen. Var på Belse när Iron Ware hade release för den här skivan.
Fast personligen gillar jag EP:n bäst. Lite mer skitigare och hungrigare.
