Stranglers - North Winds Lyrics

I saw an orange robe burning I saw a youth on fire I saw metal machines that were turning On a generation that hadn't yet tired I heard of two generations being murdered In a Europe that was shrouded in black I witnessed the birth pains of new nations When the chosen people finally went back North Winds Blowing I wish it would Blow all away North Winds Blowing I wish they would blow all away I wish they would blow all away I saw freedom in the shape of disease And mainly men had to quench their desire And while a few could do just as they pleased I saw kids whose bellies were all on fire When all is dead and war is over When hollow victory has been won Who will join in the celebration Of the evil that just can't be undone? North Winds Blowing I wish it would Blow all away North Winds Blowing I wish they would blow all away I wish they would blow all away I used to dream about destruction But now that I feel it getting near I spend rny time watching the ocean And waves are all I want to hear I wish I was a believer I'd spend less time in being sad So many laws against disbelieving Don't know who's good or who's bad Stranglers Lyrics North Winds Lyrics
