The bombs are crying their way through the dark
They’re forcing children’s’ laughter to stop
We’ve lost it all in single second
We’ve lost our only sense of direction
The soil is drenched in the blood of our sons,
yet we still keep to call this our home
I’m struggling for breath as they close in on me
I’m searching for a way out desperately
Chorus
Where do we go when all is left to burn?
Where do we hide until it’s safe to return?
There are no answers here, guns crying
Under the dark, cold stars we sleep
Now there’s nothing left here to live for
All this time we’ ve just been ignored
We’ll strike back from within our shadow
What’s to take when you have got it all
The soil is drenched in the blood of our sons,
yet we still keep to call this our home
I’m struggling for breath as they close in on me
I’m searching for a way out desperately
Where do we go when all is left to burn?
Where do we hide until it’s safe to return?
There are no answers here, guns crying
Under the dark, cold stars we sleep
We are the orphans you’ve created
We are the widows, we are the hated
We are the mothers of the murdered
We are the conscience you’ve forsaken
Where do we go when all is left to burn?
Where do we hide until it’s safe to return?
There are no answers here, guns crying
Under the dark, cold stars we sleep

There’s nothing left here but ruins and despair,
there’s nothing left but hunger,
we’re all caved in as the concrete weighs us down
I’ve seen the future of the younger
I’d cry out to see the light, I would kill to feel alive
Darkness crawls over me with fear, please God, stay with me here
From the dark into the red, in a place where angels fled,
the burning soil torches their wings unfold
I’ve watched the city tumble down, I can’t remember what it’s like
to know a place called home
The time’s run out, for salvation or a prayer
resignation embarks my veins
Covered in dust and fragments of our legacy
These suburbs become my grave
I’d cry out to see the light, I would kill to feel alive
Darkness crawls over me with fear, please God, stay with me here
From the dark into the red, in a place where angels fled,
the burning soil torches their wings unfold
I’ve watched the city tumble down, I can’t remember what it’s like
to know a place called home
From the dark into the red, in a place where angels fled,
I’ve watched the city tumble down, I can’t remember what it’s like
Darkness crawls over me with fear, please God, stay with me here
I’d cry out to see the light, I would kill to feel alive
I would kill to feel alive

The first rays of sun break trough as the winter has passed
An avalanche of fauna and flora awakes at last
As the ball of clay spins and spins around its spill
We’re the only ones who’ve reached a total standstill
But the protest grows like the waves of an ocean,
Eroding the lack of liability
If you fall, we’ll pick you up and walk beside you
If you crawl, we’ll break our backs just to bare you
Cause if it’s eye for an eye, we’ll watch the world go blind
But these streets will be ours in time
We’ll shift the odds into millions to one
We’ll tip the scales on behalf of the young
Riot and revolt as tools of last resort
Unify this country
If you fall, we’ll pick you up and walk beside you
If you crawl, we’ll break our backs just to bare you
Cause if it’s eye for an eye, we’ll watch the world go blind
But the streets will be ours again in time
If you fall, If you crawl,
Cause if it’s eye for an eye, we’ll watch the world go blind
But the streets will be ours again in time
