One Night

One night
A million virgins for one night the king's to choose
There is hardly love to find
He named the flag and took the power to abuse
'Cause he was born into the light
The night is red the dancers shimmerin' in the haze
Painful blisters on their toes
The hope was green that's why people plant the streets
But now spring's trampled underfoot
Somebody's laughin' while another one cries
The idea is born and all the rest dies
They're killin' their neighbours
They seem to be blind for your love
I realized my God is workin' in a bar
Stood in the doorway said 'hello'
And by the morning light she told me all about
Her life and lovers long ago
The streets are red the dancers fell upon their knees
Painful blisters on their hands
Tryin' to twist the colours, meanings and the truth
To keep the faith, who understands?
Somebody's laughin' while another one cries
The idea is born and all the rest dies
They're killin' their neighbours
They've got to be blind for your love
Your bed's shining empty
There's blood on the floor
The minute they got in
We left through back door
They're killin' their neighbours
But a virgin is born
They'll never prevail
No, no, no!
No, no, no!
Blind for your love!
