Mother Nature's Final Dance Lyrics - Visitation - Magnum

Oh why do we act like this? 

So fragile to touch 

Now that the light's gone out 

They're caught in the rush 

And somewhere across the void 

Oh there's no return 

Lost all in an empty space 

There's cause for concern 

Women were crying in their tearful eyes 

And banners were flying in dark smoky skies 

Sweet ruby wine only helped them ignore 

It poured from the bottle like blood to the floor 

The peace and the power will fall dust to dust 

And every hour will turn them to rust 

Still some things we're haunted by 

And endlessly tried 

But if we could start again 

And question them why 

Now you can remember when 

Kids held out their hands 

All prejudice left behind 

Time to understand 

Men talked with passion, although time was brief 

And something would happen to shake their belief 

Gentle persuasion, a soft serenade 

It filled the occasion and everyone prayed 

Get back in the shadows, say farewell to friends 

On through the meadows, too late to pretend 

It starts, Mother Nature cries 

She falls into her final dance 

People were just walking by 

Passing without half a glance 

So into the shadows burning 

Wide-eyed and so young they came 

And all but their very soul 

Swept into that savage game 

Through fire and water, they try to be strong 

And not to be touched by that poisonous tongue 

The men on white horses, observing their plan 

Were deep in discussion, send man after man 

Over and over and over again 

Over and over, it's over, Amen
