The Magic Word - Uli Jon Roth

Do you know the magic word

Do you know the secret

I once knew the tragic bird

Long ago

Are we near the end of times?

Yonder waits the pain

I can hear dead children’s rhymes

Sounding in vain

STOP KILLING!

STOP KILLING!

STOP KILLING!!!

Give life a chance

Deep down you know what’s right or wrong

Deep down below, inside you…

Deep down you know where you belong

Which side you’re on…

But you are the one

To choose right or wrong

It’s better to lose all you’ve won

Than to lose the son!

STOP KILLING!

'Cos it is always wrong

STOP KILLING!

You’ve gotta know what’s right or wrong

STOP KILLING!!!

We’ve got to know where we belong

STOP KILLING!

'Cos it is always wrong

STOP KILLING!

'Cos it is every life is sacred

Though you know the magic word

Though you feel the pain…

Still your bow and our words

There’s no gain…

Do you dare to throw the first stone?

Are you without blame?

Do you care to know the first one?

Are you without shame?

Are there flowers in your heart

Still alive or are they charred?

Are the towers of your heart

Full of life or are they barred?

Feel your heart!

Are the windows of your heart

Full of light or are they shut

Are the echoes of your past

Will they fade or will they last?

Will they remember you?

In the name of the one you love

In the name of the one you trust

In the name of the one above

Give life a chance

STOP KILLING!

STOP — STOP KILLING!

STOP KILLING!!!

STOP KILLING!!!

Stop KILLING!!!

STOP KILLING!!!

GIVE LIFE A CHANCE
