Widowmaker's Cry: A Haunting Reflection on Societal Desolation
Lyrics
The country is desolate
The rural areas are empty and deserted.
The city ablaze
The urban areas are on fire.
Watch it burn!
Witness the destruction.
Watch it burn to the ground!
Observe it being completely destroyed.
Watch it burn to the ground!
-Delicate hands barely gripping
Fragile hands struggling to hold on.
Tiny fingers wrap the trigger
Small fingers are wrapped around a gun trigger.
Condition our young to defend us from dangerous men
We're teaching our youth to protect us from dangerous individuals.
This is an age old altercation
This conflict has existed for a long time.
Join your hands and let us pray
Come together and pray.
Fighting with fire to simmer the flames
Fighting destructiveness with more destruction.
Where are the wise? Testify!
Questioning the whereabouts of wise individuals.
Killing for peace, unite to divide
Killing in the name of peace, causing further division.
Save uss, forgive us
Pleading for salvation and forgiveness.
Put aside your pride so we can survive
Asking to put aside ego for survival.
Delicate hands barely gripping
Fragile hands struggling to hold on.
Tiny fingers wrap the trigger
Small fingers are wrapped around a gun trigger.
Condition our young to defend us from dangerous men
We're teaching our youth to protect us from dangerous individuals.
Rise above the shadows putting forth your hands
Rise above darkness and extend help.
God will shield his eyes in spite of all your prayers
God will turn away despite prayers.
And he will not hear
Prayers might go unheard.
Your hands, stained of blood
Hands stained with the guilt of bloodshed.
What have we become from a smoking gun?
Reflection on the consequences of using weapons.
What have we become?
Contemplation on the current state of being.
What have we become?
Reflecting on the present condition.
Watch it burn!
Witness the destruction.
Watch it burn to the ground!
Observe it being completely destroyed.
Watch it burn to the ground!
-We're fighting alongside self-destruction
We're fighting alongside our own downfall.
Rise above the shadows putting forth your hands
Rise above darkness and extend help.
God will shield his eyes in spite of all your prayers
God will turn away despite prayers.
And he will not hear
Prayers might go unheard.
Your hands, stained of blood
Hands stained with the guilt of bloodshed.
What have we become from a smoking gun?
Reflection on the consequences of using weapons.
What have we become?
Contemplation on the current state of being.
Rise above the shadows putting forth your hands
Rise above darkness and extend help.
God will shield his eyes in spite of all your prayers
God will turn away despite prayers.
Rise above the shadows putting forth your hands
Rise above darkness and extend help.
God will shield his eyes in spite of all your prayers
God will turn away despite prayers.
There is no sense in your head
An absence of rationality.
Are we lost? Are we condemned?
Questioning if we're lost or doomed.
There is no sense in your head
An absence of rationality.
Are we lost? Are we condemned?
Questioning if we're lost or doomed.
