Boycott Bravado - Dona Nobis Requiem lyrics

rate me

We are (the voices that you hear)<br />

We had grown tired (but now our words are clear)<br />

<br />

For those who have seen<br />

The passing of many days grow blind<br />

To their actions and numb to this tragic place.<br />

Can you taste the salt of the tears running down their face?<br />

<br />

Can you hear me, (I'm screaming at you)<br />

Through the smallest of cracks in the walls?(A penetrating voice)<br />

The sound is seeping. (As small as it may be)<br />

Will you answer the call? (Arise)<br />

<br />

Your lack of action penetrates the skin and rips open my heart.<br />

Take a step back, <br />

Get to thinking, <br />

What you've done will do no harm.<br />

The scar that's left here, <br />

Bearing witness, <br />

Testifies to your depart.<br />

You left your mark here, <br />

Left us dying, <br />

Signed away your promised part.<br />

<br />

You give up that which costs you nothing, <br />

But a decision of the heart.<br />

You leave the broken and the weary, <br />

To wander aimless in the dark.<br />

Those who are lost with no desire, <br />

All alone cannot be found.<br />

Can't see the candle in your lighthouse, <br />

And their souls will run aground.<br />

<br />

Your lack of action penetrates the skin and rips open my heart.<br />

Take a step back, <br />

Get to thinking, <br />

What you've done will do no harm.<br />

The scar that's left here, <br />

Bearing witness, <br />

Testifies to your depart.<br />

You left your mark here, <br />

Left us dying, <br />

Signed away your promised part.<br />

<br />

(Dona nobis requiem)<br />

You've got the stuff but can you feel it?<br />

The world getting in your way.<br />

(Dona nobis pacem)<br />

Your heart's on fire with contagious passion.<br />

But when the chemicals decay, <br />

(Dona nobis requiem)<br />

Those left luke-warm will be ejected, <br />

And their spots will be filled.<br />

(Dona nobis pacem)<br />

The pathway narrows and the crowded masses, <br />

Will find their way to falling short.<br />

<br />

Your lack of action penetrates the skin and rips open my heart.<br />

Take a step back, <br />

Get to thinking, <br />

What you've done will do no harm.<br />

The scar that's left here, <br />

Bearing witness, <br />

Testifies to your depart.<br />

You left your mark here, <br />

Left us dying, <br />

Signed away your promised part.<br />

(Signed away your promised part)<br />

(Your promised part)<br />

(Signed away your promised part)
