Isobel Campbell - Deus Ibi Est lyrics

(feat. Mark Lanegan)

Against my will to these sad shores

An unknown force has drawn me

Bound unto a future shaped by ancestors before me

Day on day I march the beat to someone else's drum

I have searched far foreign lands there's nowhere left to run

Impending storm rise up rise up

Oh demons I shall shame you!

Look down the barrel of my gun and one by one I'll name you

Day on day my brothers leave go marching off to war

Yet we never understand for what we're fighting for

Ubi caritas et amor

(Where there is tender care and love)

Ubi caritas

(Where there is tender care)

Deus ibi est

(God is present)

Worldly desires and worldly gains

Designed for worldly men

I'm a master of the heart with ears and hands to lend

Soldiers come and soldiers go some changed by love for thee

A circle in the chain of life all fighting to be free

Ubi caritas et amor

Ubi caritas

Deus ibi est

So come my lord and we shall dance

To God's own private drum

Sweet Jesus and the holy vine

The afterlife to come

Day on day I march the the beat to someone else's drum

I have searched far foreign lands there's nowhere left to run

Ubi caritas et amor

Ubi caritas

Deus ibi est
