Redwalls, The - Front Page lyrics

Holding up the bank in Belgrade

She lost her mind

Between the battle lines

And the telephone rings

A bell rung out

As they talk about

Sixteen kids gone in a school yard

The papers read, she shakes her head

And I said

In the darkest night

Come the darkest days

In the worst of ways

Close that town for good, the plague's here

The skin from beneath

All the way to the mouths they feed

Then they are filtered clear

The boys will try

And the judge decides

'Get out while you can', she tells me

'You're wasting time'

'That's fine'

In the darkest night

Come the darkest days

In the worst of ways

All right, now

From the silent cry

To the naked eye

She waves goodbye

Holding up the bank in Belgrade

I played a tune

When, how, did it happen soon she said

Now we find a way to make it down

The place smokes and the palace burns

and the world keeps turning around

and around, yeah

Around, and it's bringing me down

In the darkest night

Come the darkest days

And the last bell rings out
