Isobel Campbell lyrics : "Deus Ibi Est"

(feat. Mark Lanegan)

Against my will to these sad shores

An unknown force has drawn me
Bound unto a future shaped by ancestors before me
Day on day I march the beat to someone else's drum

I have searched far foreign lands there's nowhere left to run

Impending storm rise up rise up

Oh demons I shall shame you!
Look down the barrel of my gun and one by one I'll name you
Day on day my brothers leave go marching off to war

Yet we never understand for what we're fighting for

Ubi caritas et amor

(Where there is tender care and love)
Ubi caritas
(Where there is tender care)

Deus ibi est
(God is present)


Worldly desires and worldly gains
Designed for worldly men
I'm a master of the heart with ears and hands to lend

Soldiers come and soldiers go some changed by love for thee
A circle in the chain of life all fighting to be free


Ubi caritas et amor
Ubi caritas
Deus ibi est


So come my lord and we shall dance
To God's own private drum

Sweet Jesus and the holy vine
The afterlife to come
Day on day I march the the beat to someone else's drum

I have searched far foreign lands there's nowhere left to run

Ubi caritas et amor

Ubi caritas
Deus ibi est


(Thanks to Agnes for these lyrics)
