Tears I Cry

Every night before I sleep, I pray to God my soul to keep

Another scene of devastation
A story that we know so well
Innocence in isolation
Look into the fires of hell

Sometimes I fall, against the wall
Be inclined to lose it all – stay alive, stay alive, stay alive

These tears I cry are falling down like rain
And deep inside, I pray that they would wash away the pain

Mother watches television
Father drinks the pain away
The children have no supervision
They say they’re better off that way

I cry for you, don’t pray for me
The heart is strong, the mind is weak
We go to war to fight for peace
We’ve become the beast

At times it’s all where you belong and still we sing the same old song
Live or die, live or die, live or die

These tears I cry are falling down like rain
And deep inside, I pray that they would wash away the pain
The strong survive, but time and time again
We’re running blind, the lines are drawn, it’s time to make it end

Mother watches television
Father drinks the pain away
The children have no supervision

These tears I cry are falling down like rain
And deep inside, I pray that they would wash away the pain
The strong survive, but time and time again
We’re running blind, the lines are drawn, it’s time to make it end
These tears I cry
And deep inside
The strong survive
