James Taylor - Belfast to Boston - God's Rifle (With Lyrics)

James Taylor - Belfast to Boston - God's Rifle

Lyrics
There are rifles buried in the countryside by the rising of the moon
May they lie there long forgotten till they rust away into the ground
Who will bend this ancient hatred, will the killing to an end
Who will swallow long injustice, take the devil for a country man
Who will say "this far no further, oh lord, if I die today"

Send no weapons no more money. Send no vengeance across the seas
Just the blessing of forgiveness for my new countryman and me

Missing brothers, martyred fellows, silent children in the ground
Could we but hear them could they not tell us
"Time to lay God's rifle down"

Who will say this far no further, oh Lord, if I die today.

PEACE NOW!

This is quite wonderful. Thank you for creating it. Yes, it's originally about Ireland, but it is clear that we all in many countries have had this experience. Shalom, Gitl

[redsoxfan1984]

This song's actually about the Northern Ireland 'Troubles', when Irish Republicans and British Loyalists were at war all over the region. Not about the Vietnam War.

Still a good video.

except they don't match the lyric - the clue is in the title of the song I feel (reinforced by the second part of the first line)

[bobdudeaz]
