Cara Luft - Dallaire lyrics

There's a land that once was free, a land that speaks of God's beauty If you can only see
 And there I stood looking down, it was like a garden all around The storm rolled in without a sound 
Shadows fell, darkness called, demons came to take it all And suddenly I felt so small 
Fields of green turned to red, rivers flowed with the blood of the dead So many prayers left unsaid I shook hands with the devil, I stood and listened to his lies
 Thought I saw the angels falling and the son had covered up his eyes He covered up his eyes Foreign kings in foreign lands, they took the power out of my hands To withdraw was their command 
I did shout and I did pray, I told my men that we would stay While the world looked away
 I went to see the devil's own to talk of peace and hope for all But his smile just froze my soul I saw you run, I heard you cry, they cut you down and I watched you die
 So many tears in my eyes So many tears in my eyes I shook hands with the devil, I stood and listened to his lies 
Thought I saw the angels falling and the son had covered up his eyes He covered up his eyes Now I don't sleep at night, I stay up waiting for the light I tell myself it'll be alright 
But what I see when I'm looking down is just sadness all around And the angels don't make a sound
 Now if Jesus could have his say he'd make those kings kneel down and pray 
And they'd confess they walked away They'd confess they walked away Will you forgive us? Can you forgive me on that day? I shook hands with the devil, I stood and listened to his lies
 Thought I saw the angels falling and the son had covered up his eyes
 I shook hands with the devil, I stood and choked upon his lies 
Thought I saw those angels falling and the son had covered up his eyes
