Lyrics
Ivory Madonna
Dying in the dust
Waiting for the manna
Coming from the West
Barren is her bosom
Empty as her eyes
Dead the serpent harbingers
Scattered from the skies
Sweet Moses creeping
Doesn't know his head
Angels are appearing
From his infant head
Politicians argue
Sharpening their knives
Drawing up their bargains
Trading baby lives
Ivory Madonna
Dying in the dust
Waiting for the manna
Coming from the West
Hear the bells are ringing
Christmas on its way
Hear the angels singing
What is it they say?
Eat and drink rejoicing
Joyous is the day
Jesus son of Mary
Born again today
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
Ivory Madonna
Dying in the dust
Waiting for the manna
Coming from the West
