Correction Lyrics Redemption Day by Nina Hagen

Back

Lyrics

I've wept for those
Who suffered long
But how I weep
For those who've gone
Into rooms of grief
And questioned wrong
But keep on killing

It grieves the soul
To feel such things
But weak to watch without speaking
Oh, what Mercy sadness brings
If God is willing

There's a train
That's heading straight
To Heaven's Gate
To Heaven's Gate
And on the way
Child and man
And woman wait
Watch and wait
For redemption day

Fire rages
In the streets
It swallows
Everything it meets
It's just an image often seen
On television
On television

Come leaders come
You men of "great"
Let us here you pontificate
Your many virtues laid to waste
And we aren't listening

There's a train
That's heading straight
To Heaven's Gate
To Heaven's Gate
And on the way
Child and man
And woman wait
Watch and wait
For redemption day
Oh, yeah

What do you have for us today
Throw us a bone
But save the plate
Why we waited
Until so late
Was there no oil
To excavate

No riches in trade
For the fate
Of every person
Who died in hate
Throw us a bone you men of "great"
[Chorus outro]
There's a train
That's heading straight
To Heaven's Gate
To Heaven's Gate
And on the way
Child and man
And woman wait
Watch and wait
For redemption day
