What Kind Of God Tab

by Uriah Heep


I rode to my homeland
                                 
and carried the memory over the valley below
                    
and the heart of a nation

the war cry was blazing
                           
and the loss of my brothers and sons
                        
were all in the name of civilisation

                        
the empty moon saw I was leaving
    	        
with pride and hope in my heart
                             
the mountains talk of faraway dreaming


so came the invasion
                                      
across from a faraway place into the new world
               	
with guns and new order

they gave us religion
                                     
then took away all of our rights and forced
                        
us to live behind their new border

                       
the four winds blow and bring a new vision
                       
where children laugh without fear
                       
the land will speak and people will listen

                         
but yesterday my life was fading
                    
with every reason to die
		 
ten miles to the north
                                 			      
as I rode my red horse in the dying sun
                             
and then when I saw the white soldiers
                        
one hundred or more in a line

kill for the land

saying their law will stand
                        
what kind of God do they see? 
                         
What kind of god can this be?
