Some weapons are more powerful than others. This one is the ultimate weapon.
I play mostly alone but also play with bands we form for special concerts
Since I retired in 1996 I took up writing, playing and recording music as a hobby. I play piano, guitar, bass, drums, harmonica and tenor sax reasonably well but not great. I enjoy all genres of music.
Story behind the song
Heard a sermon many years ago about something very evil, so I just wrote this song
Lyrics
There's a weapon, that's oh so powerful
It's been around since, the garden of Eden.
It destroys entire nations,
But worst of all, it has no soul.
But worst of all, it has no soul.
It's the cunning tongue, the master of evil.
It wags and spits, and spouts it's scorn.
It doesn't care if, you're man or woman.
You can't escape, that cruel horn.
Now take the leaders, of this world,
And hear their tongues weave, a silken web.
And when they're done, there's only ruin,
And so much pain, and mercy's death.
It's the cunning tongue, the master of evil.
It wags and spits, and spouts it's scorn.
It doesn't care if, you're man or woman.
You can't escape, that cruel horn.
I've never seen pain, from knives or bullets,
Inflict a wound, as deep as the tongue.
There is no armour to protect you,
From that self-righteous, spiteful, tungue.
It's the cunning tongue, the master of evil.
It wags and spits, and spouts it's scorn.
It doesn't care if, you're man or woman.
You can't escape, that cruel horn.
There's a weapon, that's oh so powerful
It's been around since, the garden of Eden.
It destroys entire nations,
But worst of all, it has no soul.
But worst of all, it has no soul.
