The Burning Rose versuri

The Burning Rose lyrics by Jan Hrub, Kukuln

We live in dangerous times, my friend
Heaven knows we’re fighting all the time
The burning rose
Selling obscene machines to fools
That kill and maim
We never count the cost
Tears and pain

Why did we start this war or that?
I don’t know
Lost in the history of
The burning rose

Dry old disputes from years ago
Fuel the war
Why can’t we make a start on feeding the poor?
Africa starves and fights and bleeds
You feel the pain
But we stand idly by
Feeding the flame

All over Europe, the borders fеll down
Democrats cheered
Now Mother Russia feeds on nationalist fеar

I’m not a genie, yes, my friend
Only a man
And I don’t see anything, looks like a plan
The bells are ringing louder now
The ? on
The new winter’s out to be
Old Uncle Sam’s arm
The 21st century rolls around
Heaven knows
We’ll still be fighting for
The burning rose
