The Chant Has Begun (Unique Mix) Songtext / Lyric

the spirit of the people

the spirit of the people

the spirit of the people

the rhythm has begun ...



old men with their protocol

lead us off to war

sometimes we don't even know

what we're fighting for

marching to the beat of their drum



leaders we no longer trust

told too many lies

the promises they made to us

were never realised

hear me now the chant has begun



nowhere left to turn

no-one left to turn to

voices raised in anger

they don't have the answer

our whole world's in danger






oil slicks on the ebbing tide

progress out of hand

blind men choke on swallowed pride

heads down in the sand

don't wanna see the damage they've done



trees destroyed by acid rain

falling from the skies

when our children place the blame

who will tell them why

hear me now the chant has begun



why is love so rare

all this talk of warfare

voices raised in anger

they don't have an answer

pass the word along

we can wait no longer

too much blind destruction

follow love's instructions

now the chant has begun



(chant)



make your choice there's no escape

add your voice, the chant has begun
