Beneath The Angry Sky - Strawbs

Warplanes fly in terror waves

Orders are withdrawn

Horses rear with nostrils flared

A child is stillborn

All afternoon as hell pours down

Families stand like rock

Holding hands in fear and rage

Reeling with the shock

Who will answer to themselves

The simple question why

We must search within ourselves

Beneath the angry sky

Nothing moves, the town lies still

Behind its ruined face

A single oak defiant

In the silent marketplace

A school of shattered lives

Inside the broken window panes

The hope of all those burned inside

Is all that still remains

Who will answer to themselves

The simple question why

We must search within ourselves

Beneath the angry sky

A light of hope still burns behind

A single shuttered door

Despite its broken heart

The town is stronger than before

Who will answer to themselves

The simple question why

We must search within ourselves

Beneath the angry sky
