So where were YOU?

when the sun taught us to smile,

Where were you when the wind combed our hair?

When the sky smelled green of earth?

And the earth sounded like rain,

Have you been to the alter?

To see the stone cry tears of blood,

To watch life turn to death,

And the stars turn round the earth,

And the night sky give birth-

To dawn,

So where were you?

When the stone gods were fed life,

Where were you when the mountains bowed to the heavens?

When the clouds turned to shadows?

And the sorrow of man fell from the eyes of God...

Have you been to the alter?

To see the heart of man bleed fear,

To watch life turn to death,

And the stars turn round the earth,

And the night sky give birth-

To sacrifice
