I still hear them crying for mercy
Screaming in anger
I still see the face in the darkness
Mirror their pain
It was not their fault
But they suffer anyway
Life's cheap they say
When the time comes to pay you'll be waiting
The voice of a lost generation
The cost is a crime
And history screams out
But they do it anyway
Let the video roll
Cause you're burning my soul with your message
The sound and the vision bring pictures
Into my home
And the children they cry
But life goes on anyway
After the storm
You can see the thunder in her eyes
Even though the blood runs so cold
After the storm
Keep a fire burning in your heart
After the storm
Nowhere to run
After the storm
You can see the fire in her eyes
Soon the day will come when you will rise
After the storm
Till then you'll have to tow the line
After the storm
Nowhere to run
I still hear them crying for mercy
Echo in pain
You're just a man with your head in the sand
Not to blame
You're such a long way from here
You're such a long way from here
If I ever get out of here
Fall to my knees and say a prayer
If I ever get out of this place
Look to the sky and accept my fate
After the storm
You can see the thunder in her eyes
Even though the blood runs so cold
After the storm
Keep a fire burning in your heart
After the storm
Nowhere to run
After the storm
You can see the fire in her eyes
Soon the day will come when you will rise
After the storm
Till then you'll have to tow the line
After the storm
Nowhere to run
After the storm
You can see the thunder in her eyes
Even though the blood runs so cold
After the storm
Keep a fire burning in your heart
After the storm
Nowhere to run
After the storm
