Written In The Heart Lyrics

Written In The Heart

The God forsaken rifleman stands rigid at the bar
The kids discover victims
in the rubble and the tar
They're married to ambition to the slogans of the
war
Slogans that used to be scrawled on the wall
Are written in the
heart

A woman bows to Mecca and she struggles to her feet
It's better
since the president took shooting off the street
She pictures all the poverty
the cursed Holy War
The pictures that used to be scrawled on the wall
Are
written in the heart

The elders make a promise and they forge it in the
fire
The general's car is sabotaged, four bullets in the tire
With the
burning of the words there goes the scorching of the earth
The words that
used to be scrawled on the wall
Are written in the
heart

(Hirst/Moginie/Rotsey)
