We traded the altar For a golden screen The values we held Are now just a dream Chasing the shadows, forgetting the light While the innocent suffer in the middle of the night The pews are all empty, the steeples are cold In a world where the soul is just something that's sold Another border Another line in the sand The blood of the brothers Staining the land Can you hear the sound? The planet is crying! Under the weight of the truth we're all denying! The wars never end! The hunger just grows! While the river of mercy, it no longer flows! We're losing the way! We're falling apart! Searching for God In a hollowed-out heart! The children are hungry, the water is grey We turn our heads and we look the other way Inverting the values, the wrong is now right We're blinded by power, we're losing the sight From the factory floor to the halls of the kings We've forgotten the peace that the brotherhood brings! The earth is screaming! The sky is bleeding! Is there anyone left who's still interceding? Can you hear the sound? The planet is crying! Under the weight of the truth we're all denying! The wars never end! The hunger just grows! While the river of mercy, it no longer flows! Searching for God In a hollowed-out heart! The planet is crying Values for sale How did we fail? Lord, why did we fail? Why did we fail?
