lyrics

“Silent Cries”

I’ve run out of tears
and this void has not even weakened
with their hands folded
and their knees down
have never gone up against it
have they never never spoken out
Words have left me
but I have not finished my speech
Now there’s just silence everywhere
and everything that comes with it
Where is our human mercy?
Where dwells our light?

My hands I see
they’re all but clean
No man can see their own
No one sees
Their hands they don’t see
No man can see their own
No one sees
They won’t stop!

Fear, you that deep hammer your claws
and rotten our dimming virtue
Fear, You that wildly make us run
and see not what our feet step on
Fear, that fiercely make us freeze
and move not to fulfill our deeds
Running over breaking hearts
Weary and hopeless
We see we are all alone.

My hands I see
they’re all but clean
No man can see their own
No one sees
Their own blooded hands
No man can see their own
No one sees
their blooded hands
they won’t stop!

I’ve run out of tears
and this void has not even weakened
Blood rivers around us
carrying a million silent cries
Words have left me
but I have not finished my speech
Now there’s just silence everywhere
and everything that come with it
Let me sing for them
Let me sing for me!

Million silent cries
Let me sing for them!
