Siloam - Eastern Skies

Eastern Skies



As the thunder rolls across the sky
Seems dawn will never come.
Sounds of guns a blazing
Echoes like a drum.
Pain fills the air
I hear it in their cries
There’s a battle raging under eastern skies
Oh, no!
Cries of sorrow echo across the land.

[Chorus]
There’s a battle raging, under eastern skies.
Mothers lose their babies,
Children learn to die.
When will it ever end, under eastern skies.
Where’s the hope of living, under eastern skies.

As the morning light begins to steal
Across a bloodstained sky
The Son of Man looks down
Tears fall from his eyes
When will they ever see
The truth behind the lies
When will they stop the killing
Under eastern skies
Oh no !
Cries of sorrow echo across the land.

[Chorus]

Oh Lord, take the pain away
Oh Lord, turn the night to day
Oh Lord, kill the beast I pray !

[Chorus]
