歌词

[00:23.16] We shout up at the sky
[00:28.36] Until our mouths are bloody and dry
[00:34.46] Screaming out at a god that seems to be blind
[00:41.38] To the suffering of us here below; those pushed aside
[00:46.11] Look around and witness the weight of this darkness
[00:51.57] I can assure you that ignorance is not bliss
[00:59.50] And simply because we've adorned our eyes with such arrogance
[01:05.25] Does not mean the unspeakable will cease
[01:11.40] Wicked men hoarding necessities
[01:16.30] While their fellow men die of sickness and disease
[01:25.27] Our children are still starving
[01:29.46] Doubled over in pain from the grumbling
[01:34.56] Dying loved ones whither and fade
[01:38.86] The person we knew stripped away
[01:41.30] (All we love will fade
[01:44.97] All we love is stripped away)
[01:49.35] Men killing their dearest in a fit of rage
[01:55.75] Instead of putting the past behind, turning a new page
[02:05.45] Mothers drown their baby's in their sleep
[02:13.46] As a reprieve cause they don't know the next time they'll eat
[02:33.19] We still defile and abuse the innocent
[02:39.19] Like items to be sold or owned
[02:44.25] Slavery and prostitution is no place for a nine year old
[02:50.71] So rage, cry out at the angry sky
[03:00.72] Let the emotion fall from your eyes
[03:07.12] I tell you the truth
[03:10.46] YHWH rages with you
[03:13.29] He hears your frantic pleas
[03:15.68] Believe me when I say, "He is not some distant thing!"
[03:22.54] If you're quiet for awhile, you might just hear Him breathe
[03:28.80] He's stood at the bedside of the lowly
[03:31.93] Shoulders heaving, His head in His hands
[03:34.70] Grieving with a Father's heart, come to retrieve another wayward lamb
[03:39.78] It's up to us to hold each others' dignity
[03:44.67] Recognize we've chosen the wrong enemy
[03:47.39] Hate, ignorance, and inhumanity are what we should be battling
[03:53.48] Now's the time for knowledge
[03:55.29] Now's the time for Truth
[03:56.81] Humanity has already suffered so much abuse
[03:59.58] We must take responsibility, and do away with apathy
[04:02.79] Unlearn society's teachings
[04:04.61] To be blind and selfish
[04:06.11] Because what you must learn
[04:07.50] Is that the problem is us
