Dotted Line

from Keith Peters by Keith Peters

lyrics

On such things we can't decry
the brute force built before
Tyrants bleed, but man bleeds all the pain,
So say goodbye to the scars, goodbye, so long
The field he claims to stretch forever,
but it hits a steep plateau
And when one falls where one sees all
The world is his to cast his pall so

"Join me," he will say
"Join me," he will plead.
"This world I've found I give to you
Just sign your name across the dotted line."

For benefit we compromise
a promise made long before
"I won't let my fellow man bleed,"
so say goodbye to the stars, goodbye so long
"My field it lasts forever,
my garden ever grows,
and when one falls where one feels small
the world is his for help to call, so"

Praise the sun and praise the skies
They're bluer than ever before
Spread the word, and plant the seed
And say goodbye to your love, goodbye, so long
My shield is solid silver,
and my battle axe, I throw
and when their drum beat cries defeat
another land is ours, bowing at our feet.

"Spare me," he will say.
"Spare me," he will plead.
"This world I loved I give to you,
This world I lost I give to your,
My world is gone, I bow to you,
just sign my name across that dotted line."
