Letras de And the Band Played On

The sweetest angel came down
Took me by the hand
Said, "I got things to offer you
Help you understand
If the bombs don′t get you
I'll roll with you tonight
All those things inside your head
You gotta get it right"

And the band played on
Yeah, the band played on

The streets of the city
Were calling out my name
When jailers got wrecked down and cried
They got themselves to blame
If the bombs don′t get you
Take courage in the night
All those dreams inside your head
You gotta get it right

Still the band played on
Yeah, the band played on
And the band played on
And the band played on

The room was getting hotter
And someone hit the light
There was power in the darkness
There was violence in the night
And the golden sons and daughters
They were coming up for air

You were standing with your back to me
And a halo 'round your hair
And the questions, there were many
Like how can you survive?
Well, it's the moment you′ve been waiting for
This is the moment of your life

So every dreamer passed me by
With a fix me Jesus there in his eye
I was born to live, I was born to die
With the queen of soul and the king of mine
All the power in the land
Pulled me through to the shadowland
I was driven by some hidden hand
It′s the greatest gift of all

And the band played on
Yeah, the band played on
And the band played on
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Shake the ghost within you
Get up, meet up the rising sun
'Cause the old days, they′re the dying days
And the new day's just begun
At the end of every party
Hear the singer sing his song
May his heart stay young forever
And the dream still lingers on
I wanna die, I wanna live again
I wanna keep on keeping on

They say a coward dies a thousand deaths
But the brave, they die just once
So walk to me, talk to me
Hold me in the spectre of love
There′s a coolness and a fire
And a universal above

And the band played on
And the band played on
And the band played on
And the band played on
