On the Turning Away

Lyrics
On the turning away From the weak and downtrodden And the words they say Which we won't understand "Don't accept what is happening It's just a case of the suffering Or you'll find that you're joining in The turning away" It's a sin that somehow Light is changing to shadow And is casting its shroud Over all that we've known Around the world how the ransom grows All driven on by a heart of stone We may find that we're all alone In the dreams of the proud On the wings of the night As the daytime is slurring Where the speechless unite In a silent accord Using words we will find are strange And mesmerized as they light the flame Feel the new winds of change On the wings of the night
