DESCRIPTION:
Another splendid and powerful song from the album "Ovations"

Piano Magic - March of the atheists - (Ovations, 2009)
Make Mine Music
(Glen Johnson / Jerome Tcherneyan / Peter Ulrich)

Well I can accept that you have your faith....
So you must accept that I have none....
You chase your god into your grave....
I'll die alone when my days are done....
All these fabulous beasts that you strike down....
All this beautiful land that you claim to command....
And all these wars in the name of a book....
There's god in your heart but there's blood on your hands....

So where are your fires of Hell?....
So where now your golden gates?....
I see no angels, no heaven on high....
I hear no marching of your saints....
(Go placidly amongst the noise and haste)....

Well, I know your churches are a sight to behold....
And I know your stories as good as any man....
I know we all have our crosses to bear....
But I'll waste none of my time in desperate prayer....
I've rung the bells of the Mont-St-Michel....
But me and the saviour were never that close....
I've called into the night with no hope of reply....
But I've seen the holes in the Holy Ghost....

So where now, your peace to all men?....
So where now, your undeniable proof?....
Where is it written, in paper or stone : ....
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth?....

Wise (and just) words uttered by this great band:

"FREE DOWNLOADS ARE FINE..BUT PLEASE BUY *SOMETHING*

It's inevitable. Some people won't want to buy our records when they can get them for free. In an ideal world, all music would be free and recording artists would be happy to make music for free distribution to the masses. But this isn't an ideal world. Recording and releasing records costs money. And in our case, that money comes straight out of our pockets. We have to at least recoup that money or we can't continue to record. It's that simple.

We try to make our records as cheaply as possible in the stores. We set the dealer price (the price we sell the record to the distributor at) as low as we possibly can so that the price you buy it for in the store doesn't break the bank. We just need to cover our costs.

So, please, if you download or share our music for free, consider buying something by the band too. Come to our concerts, buy a CD at the concert. Without this, we can't continue to make music.

Thank you.
