Lyrics Redemption Day - Nina Hagen

I've wept for those who suffered long
But how I weep for those who've gone
Into rooms of grief and questioned wrong
But keep on killing

[?] the soul to feel such things
But weak to watch without speaking
Oh, what Mercy sadness brings
If God is willing

There's a train
That's heading straight
To Heaven's Gate
To Heaven's Gate
And on the way
Child and man
And woman, wait
Watch and wait
For redemption day

Fire rages in the streets
It swallows everything it meets
It's just an image often seen
On television, on television

Come leaders come you men of "great"
Let us hear you pontificate
Your many virtues laid to waste
And we aren't listening

There's a train
That's heading straight
To Heaven's Gate
To Heaven's Gate
And on the way
Child and man
And woman, wait
Watch and wait
For redemption day
Oh, yeah

What do you have for us today
Throw us a bone but save the plate
Why we waited until so late
Was there no oil to excavate
No riches in trade for the fate
Of every person who died in hate
Throw us a bone, you men of "great"

There's a train
That's heading straight
To Heaven's Gate
To Heaven's Gate
And on the way
Child and man
And woman wait
Watch and wait
For redemption day

It's buried in the [?]
It's exploding in the shells at night
It's everywhere a baby cries
Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom
Freedom
