"Arms Of Eternity" lyrics

"Arms Of Eternity"

And long may your mountain soar
Above the valley of Eden
Since I've been dancing with the one I love
Here in the arms of eternity
Now the generals and bankers rage
Shiny weapons of the greedy
They're always aiming at the lamb of love
Low in the valley of the needy

Well, we bought it - lock, stock and barrel
Death's disguised it like a dream
Since I've been sleeping in the lion's jaws
Here in the heart of America
Worries - they come, they go
Dread and rumours of a war
Now death's divided by the one I love
Here in the arms of eternity

A cross, my love
I cling to it
The cross, my love
You swing with it

Sold out and long been sold
Somehow you missed 'em at the crossroads
I laid my family in the lap of love
Truth in the arms of eternity
When darkness doubles up your woe
The hounds are baying at the doorway
But I've been feasting by the lion's side
Here in the arms of eternity
