Lyrics Big Country

Big Country

Heart & Soul

Today, cast out all of the devils you hold

Away, to the time where you youth had been sold

Remove, all the robes worn by sacred ideas

Forget, false accounts of the deeds of brave men

To the dream the fires the furnace

Give all your heart and soul

Teaching, from black books bound up too long ago

Preaching, with a vengeance so bitter and worn

Meeting, in great halls stained with fierce industry

Ashamed, of the secrets the back rooms have held

To the dream the fires the furnace

Give all your heart and soul

Laugh now, while the fire heats the iron so cold

Jest now, over acts that you thought to be bold

Call out, with a courage so false that it shakes

Blindness, brought to bear by the years of neglect

To the dream the fires the furnace

Give all your heart and soul

To the dream the fires the furnace

Give all your heart and soul

To the dream the fires the furnace

Give all your heart and soul
