Diablo Swing Orchestra - New World Widows lyrics

rate me

Spoke of honor, spoke of truth<br />

Spoke of everything it made us do<br />

In the name of a broken, but promised land<br />

Down a path so worn out, stained red by man<br />

<br />

And I never knew<br />

How hatred could consume<br />

In a prayer that no one heard<br />

Cam the words to late to her<br />

<br />

Carved in skin and heart since birth<br />

Took on duties to cleanse this earth<br />

From unbelievers, from those outside<br />

Our eyes we close, our hearts we fortify<br />

<br />

In a world that sleeps<br />

Built to make us weak<br />

Silence calling, how numb we all are<br />

Tried to set it free<br />

Tried to leave it be<br />

Tried to spare your eyes and now just dream me away<br />

<br />

Safe from harm now, safe we all are<br />

Heaven to her, such beauty in your arms<br />

I raise my hands as if time would stop<br />

We all bow down, forgive us all<br />

<br />

So afraid of what could occur<br />

Forgot to heal what's sore<br />

Spend a life taking back what's said<br />

Just words you'll live to regret
