La Colombe-The Dove - Joan Baez[00:00:01]

Why all these bugles cry[00:00:10]

These squads of young men drill[00:00:13]

To kill and to be killed[00:00:16]

Stood waiting by the train[00:00:20]

Why the orders loud and hoarse[00:00:25]

Why the engine's groaning cough[00:00:28]

As it strains to drag us all[00:00:32]

Into the holocaust[00:00:36]

Why crowds who sing and cry[00:00:41]

And shout and fling us flowers[00:00:44]

And trade their rights for ours[00:00:48]

To murder and to die[00:00:51]

The dove has torn her wing[00:00:57]

So no more songs of love[00:01:02]

We are not here to sing[00:01:09]

We're here to kill the dove[00:01:14]

Why must this moment come[00:01:25]

When childhood has to die[00:01:29]

When hope shrinks to a sigh[00:01:32]

And speech into a drum[00:01:36]

Why are they pale and still[00:01:41]

Young boys trained over night[00:01:44]

Concripts payed to kill[00:01:48]

And dressed in gray to fight[00:01:51]

These rainclouds massing tight[00:01:56]

This train load battle bound[00:01:59]

This moving burial ground[00:02:03]

Goes thundering to the night[00:02:06]

The dove has torn her wing[00:02:12]

So no more songs of love[00:02:17]

We are not here to sing[00:02:24]

We're here to kill the dove[00:02:29]

Why statues towering grave[00:02:40]

Above the last defeat[00:02:44]

Old words and lies repeat[00:02:47]

Across a new made grave[00:02:51]

And why the same still birds[00:02:55]

That victory always brought[00:02:59]

These hours of glory bought[00:03:02]

By men with mounds of earth[00:03:06]

Dead ash without a spark[00:03:11]

Where cities used to be[00:03:15]

Where guns probe every spark[00:03:18]

And crush it into dust[00:03:21]

The dove has torn her wing[00:03:27]

So no more songs of love[00:03:32]

We are not here to sing[00:03:39]

We're here to kill the dove[00:03:44]

And while your face undone[00:03:55]

With jagged lines of tears[00:03:58]

That gave in those first years[00:04:02]

All the peace I'd ever want[00:04:05]

Your body in the gloom[00:04:11]

The platform fading back[00:04:14]

Your shadow on the track[00:04:17]

A flower upon a tomb[00:04:21]

And why these days ahead[00:04:26]

When I must let you cry[00:04:30]

And live prepared to die[00:04:33]

And a part of the dear[00:04:36]

The dove has torn her wing[00:04:43]

So no more songs of love[00:04:47]

We are not here to sing[00:04:54]

We're here to kill the dove[00:04:59]
