JOAN BAEZ lyrics : "The Crimes Of Cain"

Father, can you hear the tolling of the bells
Echo a hundred thousand sons who wish you well?
Tears will pour from the Golden Eagle now

He watches as your soul departs
The fields and the sanctuaries soon will overflow
With the solidarity of hearts


Into our lives you came
With us you will remain

You were given to the fight
To the terror of the night
And the many crimes of Cain


Gravely the Black Madonna walks the winter streets
Bright are the many flowers strewn about her feet

Strong is the spirit of a people scorned
Their freedom is a gift of God
Sweet are the children who hold the legacy

Of the solidarity of Hearts

Into our lives you came

With us you will remain
Oh, forgive us all our trespasses
And we will forgive

The many crimes of Cain
The many crimes of Cain
