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 hear
Came the words to 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
