Dallaire
Cara Luft

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
