Rats & Ravens
Words & Music by Paul Flude 2014
Verse 1
Oh God, Save my Children
Save my little children
Save them from this curse
Oh God, Can you hear me
Can you hear me calling ,,, for your love.
The plague is in our village
Bodies---- in---- the field---
Can you hear me father, can--- you----- hear ------------me
Verse 2 ========================================================
Oh God,, we have praised thee
Sung and chanted plainsong
Down----- upon------- our------- knees
Oh God, your choir is dying,
See them laid in trenches surrendered, at your feet
Now, the summers over ,, black & colder, birds fly away
Can you hear us father, can----- you-----hear ------------me
Verse 3
Seen my friends, watched my neighbours,
Rats & ravens, feeding on their flesh,
Another life, a child stolen, another souls, final breath
What devil did they worship, what evil, did them scheme
My babies have been stolen, LORD ,, Can --- you - hear --me---
Verse 4 =================================================
Oh God, left my children
Left my little babes, frozen in the ground
Whilst sinners,,, out there laughing
Raping, looting , killing, living good
In this hell , that we live in.
Should the purest not be found
Should I pray to heaven. Should I , Praise -------Him---------
Verse 5 =================================================
Oh Death! Please come & take me
Take me to, the happy home, where babies thrive
So what,, of life in heaven ?
Or Black death,, or are you giving life?
Come and start my journey, getting close to God.
Can you hear me father , can you hear--------me ---------
