Amulets and Talismans Hide your daughters, arm your sons Something wicked this way comes There's evil o'er the land Coats of grey and coats of blue Pick a side, which one are you? The dead are many, survivors few Freedom is at hand The fields are littered with the dead What once was gold, now bleeds red Corpses now grow here instead What cost does freedom bring? Crimson now does paint the earth The blood of boys scant years from birth They gave their lives, for what it's worth Hear the bells of freedom ring Two hundred years and more since then The tides of war begin again An endless circle with no end Arm your daughters, arm your sons Talismans and Amulets Don't protect from fighter jets It's sad how soon the world forgets Something wicked this way comes....

Amulets and Talismans
Amulets and Talismans Hide your daughters, arm your sons Something wicked this way comes There's evil o'er the land Coats of grey and coats of blue Pick a side, which one are you? The dead are many, survivors few Freedom is at hand The fields are littered with the dead What once was gold, now bleeds red Corpses now grow here instead What cost does freedom bring? Crimson now does paint the earth The blood of boys scant years from birth They gave their lives, for what it's worth Hear the bells of freedom ring Two hundred years and more since then The tides of war begin again An endless circle with no end Arm your daughters, arm your sons Talismans and Amulets Don't protect from fighter jets It's sad how soon the world forgets Something wicked this way comes....
