Horses & Chariots

Horses and chariots

Churches and states

Devotion turns dangerous

When armed with rules of faith.

Prisoners and patriots

Angels and saints

If minds are persuaded enough

Compassion turns to hate.

(So when the)

Tide comes to bury us

Together we must stay.

(Don't let their)

Horses and chariots

Drag our love away.

No!

Borders and boundary signs

Drawn by red tape

Those who colour outside of the lines

Define the human race.

Warlords and suffering eyes

Soldiers and slaves

The side of the fence that we climb

Determines who's afraid.

(So when the)

Tide comes to bury us

Together we must stay.

(Don't let their)

Horses and chariots

Drag our love away.

(Until we)

Swallow our pride

Our hearts will collide.

And the skies of hysteria will

Come rain down on you.

Cleanse the salt from the hands that divide

Our world in two.

(So when the)

Tide comes to bury us

How can we live when so many die?

(Don't let their)

Horses and chariots

Hide the view from their eyes

(Until we)

Swallow our pride

We've chosen a faith

we've chosen a side.

(Until we)

Swallow our pride

Our hearts will collide.
