Intro
Verse 1
Ivory Madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming
from the west.
Barren is her bosom, empty as
her eyes,
Death a certain harvest
scattered from the skies.
Verse 2
Skin and bones is creeping,
doesn't know he's dead.
Ancient eyes are peeping, from
his infant head.
Politician's argue sharpening
their knives.
Drawing up their Bargains,
trading baby lives.
Verse 3
Ivory Madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming
from the west.
Hear the bells are ringing,
Christmas on it's way.
Hear the angels singing, what is
that they say?
Eat and drink rejoicing, joy is
here to stay.
Jesus son of Mary is born again
today.
Outro
Ivory Madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming
from the west.
Ivory Madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming
from the west.
