Music Your Protector

When all that is left is your enemy’s word
And nobody else knows what you saw and heard
Don’t doubt yourself or your memory
Or what happened there among the beasts of the field
When time stood still

They called you a shepherd, an ignorant youth
A piper, a dancer, a leader of fools
But the bishops and counts are trembling in fear
Thinking of a time when these walls will disappear
When time stood still

Poverty it breeds with fear
The carnival takes to the city streets
No time for depression, no thought for the past
All of those leading become last
When time stood still

In ‘76 in the winter’s cold
In the barren fields there bloomed a rose
You went walking the borders of sanity
And dreaming of justice not fantasy
When time stood still
