The Band
Plays On
The death
toll rises
As the
band plays on
Fire fills
the western sky
And the
band plays on
Old folks
keep on dying
While the
band plays on
Loved ones
are crying
As the
band plays on
Our
hospitals are overrun
Our cities
smell of rot
A shadow
lurks o’er the sun
Our
happiness is not
We live in
sorrow day and night
The horror
has no end
We hide
our eyes from dreadful sights
As death
becomes our friend
Blindness
is appalling
When it is
willful ignorance
When it
harms the ones we love
And
offends intelligence
The death
toll keeps rising
Our faith
is almost gone
Our
sympathy is fading
While the
band plays on
