Broken Barricades Lyrics - Procol Harum

It was all once bright jewels 

And glittering sand 

The oceans have ravaged 

And strangled the land 

Waste fills the temples, 

Dead daughters are born 

The presses are empty 

The editors torn 

Whose husband was the first to fall? 

Who died the worst death of them all? 

How many splinters in each separate band? 

How many stations in the final hand?

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Now gather up sea shells, 

And write down brave words 

Your prayers are unanswered, 

Your idols absurd 

The seaweed and the cobweb, 

Have rotted your sword 

Your barricades broken, 

Your enemies Lord.
