lyrics

The moonlight on the cold sea
‘Mummy’, whispers child,
But the boat is empty, sinking
And the sea is black and wild.
Gentle God, meek and mild
Spare a little mercy.

The sea gives up its dead
Red t-shirt on Turkish sand,
Children judged by what deed
Will never rise from this land.
There is only hell in these hands
And bloodshed.

The stars are high; the stars are fire.
Is there still moon
Over mire?

The eyes are deep and black and tight
And wide in deathly stares,
Scraps of human rags
In ancient city squares.
Our failures theirs
And the sea is cold tonight.

The stars are high; the stars on fire.
Where is the moon
Over mire?
