The Charlie Daniels Band - Black Autumn lyrics

Subways rumbling through the night Flashing rows of neon lights People with no place to go Rushing madly to and fro Shrine where all the nameless robots Paying homage to their concrete idols Stop and pa** the time of day Between the canyon walls of stone and steel The misers count their gold And wish the world would spin the other way Silver mentals speaking, shouting Talking loud but saying nothing Sounds of hungry children crying Drownded out by cannons firing As the giant with the pa**ive face Manipulates his toys And one by one they're trampled in the mud The High Priest and the Sacrificial Counsel Cast among them to demand Another sacrifice of blood
