love this live introduction to TSO’s Christmas Eve Sarajevo, it reminds me of Wim Winders Wings of Desire and U2’s Stay (Faraway So Close).<\/p>\n
…when he flew over sarajevo
\nthere were scars upon the land
\nthere were scars upon the people
\nit was hard to understand
\nand the deepest scars of all
\nwhich to humans are unseen
\nthe angel could see clearly
\nwere the scars of all the dreams
\nby bellfast, rowanda, palestine
\nthe only decorations here had been awards for their crimes
\nand in the gardens where the children played
\nnow soldiers only trod
\nand stranger still
\nhe heard some say that they were killing for their god
\nnow the angel had heard God speak many times
\nand he had always paid attention
\nbut this killing of one’s neighbor
\nwas something the Lord had never mentioned
\nas he neared the earth of a recent battle ground
\nfrom among the ruins
\nhe once more heard the sound
\nit was a simple chello
\nplaying a forgotten christmas song
\nand even on that battlefield
\nthat song somehow belonged
\nand as he flew away
\nthe angel did take note
\nand where he found this music played
\none always could find hope<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
