Lyrics
I speak from a place
Where some talk of signs tired superstitions
To drown out the wise
Dark clouds have gathered
To block out the sun all of our sins
To judge us in turn
Mothers and daughters fathers and sons
Would any be counted to take up the cause
If we can't imagine that the hour is near
Then all of our sins
Won't fade with the tears
Do you hear the drums
Of the warmonger's charge
Who feeds on the blood
Of our youngest and brave
Throw oil on the fires
Turn friend against friend all of our sins
Consume us in flame
I hope you know i hope you can see
The march is beginning all over again
Will we ever learn will we ever know peace
Before all of our sins drag us to the deep
Can you not see them
There's blood on their hands
They rape and they murder
For pleasure and gain the harbinger comes
In blazes of gold with fear and destruction
A haven for none
What would it take to force us to act
Before visions have faded
And hope is worn out
Would we strive to be better
Could we learn from the past
For all of our sins atonement at last
For the sake of our conscience
For the sake of our souls
To never more suffer peace without end
Or will we pass silent into the great night
When all of our sins will lie with the dust
Tell me their names tell me their names
Look into their eyes and what do you see
Do you see their pain and look blindly away
Do you hear their voices
Do you hear their screams
And do you not suffer do you know no shame
All those around you would banish you away
I hope that their cries
Haunt you till the end all of your sins
You can't wash away
For the sake of our conscience
For the sake of our souls
To never more suffer peace without end
Or will be pass silent into the great night
When all of our sins will lie with the dust
For the sake of our conscience
For the sake of our souls
To never more suffer peace without end
