Joan Baez - Rider, pass by

Tekst :

Tell me when you see them
Gathered at the shore
Dancing on their broken chains
Ah, the ladies are no more
In their blue jeans and their necklaces
Against an evening sky
But some of them are weeping
Crying rider, please pass by

The ship with all the riders
Has drifted out to sea
Compass cracked and stars unnamed
It s lost to history
And the riders in captivity
Watch ancient waves roll high
And hear the distant voices
Crying rider, please pass by

All you men who should have been
Your fathers beat you down
Your mothers loved you badly
Your teachers stole your crowns
And the wars you fought have taken toll
The price was far too high
You ve buried all the images
Of riders passing by

The horses of the riders
Have waited at the tide
But years have passed, they know at last
Their heroes will not ride
So the women oh so gracefully
Mount noble horses high
Shattering the timelessness
Of rider, please pass by

But who can dare to judge us
The women or the men?
If freedom s wings shall not be clipped
We all can love again
So the choice is not of etiquette
Or finding lonesome ways to die
But liberty to ships at sea
And riders passing by

But liberty to ships at sea
And riders passing by

    Diabolica

    Will this go down in history
    Will this end up in misery
    We re moving out
    With endless doubts
    Take your chance now

    Will this go down in history
    Will this end up in misery
    We re moving out

    Paradox

    Paradoks starter odmul się zejdź na parter
    Na razie żyć fartem nie bierz tego żartem
    Każdy może paść ofiarą żywiołowej klęski
    Dalszy etap życia może stać się po prostu grzędki
    Jak dorastam mój żywot staje się po prostu ciężki
    Teraźniejsza Służeźnia jak sauna
    Tu...

    Sinnloses lied

    Das is n sinnloses Lied
    mach dir nichts draus
    Das is n sinnloses Lied
    mach doch einfach aus
    Das is n sinnloses Lied
    Warum hörst du noch zu?...

    For Sasha

    Here by my window in Germany
    A morning bird flies close to me
    On his wing I see a yellow star
    The lights are on in the factory
    The frost is hung on the linden tree
    And I remember where we are

    And I remember the holocaust
    I remember all we lost
    The families torn and the borders...

    Into the battle

    We left our homes behind, now we´re following the wolves´trail
    Through the deepest forests, beneath the stars we ride
    I can see the moon glowing red like the blood of warriors
    There´s a prophecy, that tonight many men will die
    The fire will burn forever in...
