I saw an orange robe burning

I saw a youth on fire

I saw metal machines that were turning on

A generation that hadn't yet tired



I heard of two generations that were

Being murdered

In a Europe that was shrouded in black

I witnessed the birth pains of new nations

When the chosen people finally went back



North Winds Blowing

I wish they'd blow you all away

North Winds Blowing

I wish they'd blow you all away



I saw a freedom in the shape of disease

And mainly men had to quench their desire

And while a few could do just as they please

I saw kid's whose bellies were all on fire

And then all is dead and war is over

When hollow victory has been won

Who will join in the celebration of

An evil that can't be undone



North Winds Blowing

I wish they'd blow you all away

North Winds Blowing

I wish they'd blow you all away



I use to dream about destruction

Now that I feel it getting near

I spend my time watching the ocean

And waves are all I want to hear



I wish I was a believer

I'd spend less time maybe

In being sad

So many laws against disbelieving

I don't know who's good or who's bad



North Winds Blowing

Blow all away

Blow away
