Molly Hatchet- Fall of the Peacemakers

Fall of the Peacemakers-Lyrics:

A king without a sword
A land without a king
A truth without a voice
One song left to sing
One song to sing

A wise man told me there's something you should know
The way you judge a man is you look into his soul
And you'll soon see everything

A voice from the past cried give peace a chance
He paid our price now he's free at last
And imagine, we called him a dreamer

How many times must good men die
How many tears will the children cry
'Till we suffer no more sadness
Stop the madness
Oh, stop the madness


If ashes are ashes and dust is dust
At our journey's end, then return we must
To the sands of the shore

White doves in flight
Peace to all
But tell me why the peacemakers fall
Must we bury anymore

The hush of the crowd as the horse rode by
A black lace veil hid the tears from her eyes
And we all wept in silence

How many times must good men die
How many times will the children cry
'Till we suffer no more sadness
Oh, stop the madness
Oh, stop all the madness

Believe it or not, this song was frequently played on the radio in it's entirety during the summer of 1983 along with the other hit Kinda Like Love. This album should have been huge as it was Danny Joe's return to the band and there is not one bad song on it.

George W Bush and Dick Cheney should be forced to listen to that song in hell for eternity.

Great song with a strong point.

I miss Danny Joe Brown more and more as time goes by ... His vocals and whiskey growl on this tune bring tears to my eyes ... Did anybody even realize just how fuckin great he was? RIP DJB you were the best

this was an awesome song.

The riff that kicks in at 5:23 (and again at 7:26) is awesome. So glad I found this - I couldn't remember the song, but have always remembered that riff and today found myself humming it. I was pretty sure it was a MH song but had no idea what it was called or the lyrics. So I just started randomly listening to MH songs on youtube and as soon as this one started it all came back. Man that riff should be a song unto itself. Thanks for posting! Now I'll always remember what song it's from!
