Everlasting Peace

Crash Test Dummies · Songs Of The Unforgiven

The slow march of the army

The dragging of the boots

The laying and the waiting

Until someone starts to shoot



Where is there this silence, then?

This everlasting peace?

You'll find it on the cold blue

Smiling lips of the deceased



The slow arc of the sun that moves

Across the blazing sky

The vultures circling in the heat

Above where dying lie



Where is there this silence, then?

This everlasting peace?

You'll find it on the cold blue

Smiling lips of the deceased



The miles of green that thirst to death

The blowing of the sand

And then the creeping cold begins

And freezes all the land



Where is there this silence, then?

This everlasting peace?

You'll find it on the cold blue

Smiling lips of the deceased
