Messenger Songtext
von Gravy Train

Messenger swift, won′t you tell me the words that you carry
Stop for a moment and lie with me, I pray you'll tarry
Five more young men who′ll never be able to marry
How long will this war last before you die too?
Before you die too?


Messenger, see, I am stricken, my body is crying
Help me to rest, I am spent, I can hear my heart sighing
Look well upon the face of a man who is dying
How long will this war last before you die too?
Before you die too?

Messenger, messenger, quickly, I have something for you
Take it away to the men who I first saw you riding to
This book will tell that Christ is alive and what he will do
So heed ye well, ye men, lest ye all die too
Lest ye all die too
Ahhh...
Ahhh...
