Cries of the Dead
Snow falls, can hardly stand
Trudgin' through this frozen land
Can't feel, a pain in my head
Can only hear The Cries of the Dead
How did we get this far
Don't know where we are
The end comes, cruising red
And we give in ... to
The Cries of the Dead
--------------------------------------
(verse 1)
They came down from the mountains
With murder in their eyes
They slaughtered all the innocents
The young, the old, the wise
They stole our homes, they purged our souls
They took our liberty
They walked us round the world in chains
While crying to be free
(verse 2)
They worked us through the night and day
They worked us to the bone
Evil all around us
In hearts made of stone
They drove us to insanity,
They drove us to rebel
They drove us from a path of peace
Into the jaws of Hell
(chorus 1)
We pray for our deliverance
We wait for death to come
We pray for never-ending sleep
When our lives are done
We asked for help from all our Gods
And from Devils in our heads
But the only sound we ever heard ....
Were the Cries of the Dead
(verse 3)
We fought for life, we fought for love
We fought 'till we were spent
We fought for everything we thought
And everything that meant
We fled into the wilderness
We thought we could be saved
But those left behind would never find
Our lonely shallow graves
(chorus 2)
We prayed for our deliverance
Or we prayed for death to come
We prayed for never-ending sleep
When our lives were done
We asked for help from all our Gods
The devils in our heads
But the only words we ever heard ....
Were the Cries of the Dead
(solo)
rpt Chorus 2
------------------------------------------
We lie in deadened sleep
No pain now, no one to weep
Our spirits rise from where we bled
And so we join ....
The Cries of the Dead.
