Don't cry for us,
you knew it would be
this way.

Thousand's of hearts and lives
of families & friends
torn into a million pieces
all in the act
of one man's selfish hate.

Hand's being raised
in anger
hearts being broken
words being torn
lies being spoken.
innocent blood
being shed.

Don't cry for us
you knew it would be
this way.

The end is near
growing dark
everyone living
in fear.
Men so filled with
anger, confusion
and hate.

What has this world
come to?
No one but you
can explain
what or when
or what's gone wrong.

Don't cry for us
you knew it would be
this way.

Our destiny & out future
lies in your hands
The reasons are your own,
not for us
to understand,
but for your will
to be done.

Heavy burdens
on men's heart's
turn normal
sunny days,
into dark violent
nightmares.

Don't cry for us
you knew it would
be this way.
