Lyrics
“A PSALM OF PEACE” Words and Music by Tom Martel THERE’S A DARK, HEAVY AIR UPON THE NATION A FEELING THAT THE END IS SOON TO BE AND I WONDER IF THERE’LL EVER BE A NEW GENERATION OR IS THIS THE LAST ONE WE’LL SEE? I HAVE TRAVELED EV’RY ROAD TO SEEK AN INVITATION AND MY EYES TURN COLD AT WHAT THEY SEE THERE IS HATE IN THE HEARTS OF THE WHOLE POPULATION THERE IS BLOOD ON THE HANDS OF THE FREE THERE ARE STILL BUT A FEW OF US AROUND WHO ARE FIGHTING FOR THE GOOD SIDE OF MAN TO BREAK THROUGH AND WE PRAY FOR THE DAY TO COME WHEN WE WIN YOU… AND WE’LL ALL JOIN HANDS ON THE BANKS OF THE JORDAN AND THE LAMB WILL LIE WITH THE BEAST AND WE’LL BREAK BREAD TOGETHER ON THE BANKS OF THE JORDAN AND WE’LL ALL SING A PSALM OF PEACE. EV’RYWHERE I LOOK I SEE THE THREAT OF TOTAL DESTRUCTION AND I FEAR THAT WE MAY NOT HAVE THE TIME TO BEGIN GIVING EV’RYONE THE PROPER INSTRUCTION ON THE WAYS TO LEAVE THEIR GREED BEHIND YET AMID ALL THE CHAOS OF THIS HARSH DESECRATION THERE IS HOPE THAT WE STILL MAY SURVIVE IF WE START LOOKING NOW TO OUR PRESENT SALVATION AND GIVE THANKS FOR BEING ALIVE… THEN WE’LL ALL JOIN HANDS ON THE BANKS OF THE JORDAN AND THE LAMB WILL LIE WITH THE BEAST AND WE’LL BREAK BREAD TOGETHER ON THE BANKS OF THE JORDAN AND WE’LL ALL SING A PSALM THAT WILL NEVER CEASE... WHEN WE ALL JOIN HANDS ON THE BANKS OF THE JORDAN AND THE LAMB WILL LIE WITH THE BEAST AND WE’LL BREAK BREAD TOGETHER ON THE BANKS OF THE JORDAN AND WE’LL ALL SING A PSALM OF PEACE.
