"It's Midnight And The Doves Are In Tears"

Well, it's midnight
And the doves are in tears
And the doves are in tears, la-da-da-da
And the doves are in tears

From the jawbone of a donkey
To the atom bomb
Science and progress, what have you done?
Our children to their graves, have gone
Still, your tanks keep rolling on
Science and progress, what have you done?

Well, it's midnight, la-da-da-da
And the doves are in tears, la-da-da-da
And the doves are in tears, la-da-da-da
And the doves are in tears

And we're dragging our tattered blankets
Through the milk-white winter graves
While the angels hang firmly
To their horses' manes
All the saints to the fires, were led
By the orders of vicious men
But fire is the highest divinity
And love, it has no end

Well, it's midnight, la-da-da-da
And the doves are in tears, la-da-da-da
And the doves are in tears, la-da-da-da
And the doves are in tears
Well, it's midnight, la-da-da-da
And the doves are in tears, la-da-da-da
And the doves are in tears, la-da-da-da
And the doves are in tears
