Spoke of honour, spoke of truth |
|
spoke of everything it made us do |
|
in the name of a broken, but promised land |
|
down a path so worn out, stained red by man |
|
And I never knew |
|
how hatred could consume |
|
in a prayer that no one heard |
|
came the words too late to her |
|
Carved in skin and heart since birth |
|
took on duties to cleanse this earth |
|
from unbelievers, from those outside |
|
our eyes we close, our hearts we fortify |
|
In a world that sleeps |
|
built to make us weak |
|
silence calling, how numb we all are |
|
tried to set it free |
|
tried to leave it be |
|
tried to spare your eyes and now you just dream me away |
|
Safe from harm now, safe we all are |
|
heaven to her, such beauty in your arms |
|
I raise my hands as if time would stop |
|
we all bow down, forgive us all |
|
So afraid of what could occur |
|
forgot to heal what's sore |
|
spend a life taking back what you said |
|
just words you'll live to regret |
|
In a world that sleeps |
|
built to make us weak |
|
silence calling, how numb we all are |
|
tried to set it free |
|
tried to leave it be |
|
tried to spare your eyes and now you just dream me away |
