I can hear the scream of despair
It's shooting through my body
I can't speak or feel or see
I just can't believe it
Torture's laughter echoes through the land
The weeping children cannot understand
So much blood
So much pain
Too much death
No hope, no help, no end
The shadows of fear eclipse the land
Deprived of liberty
They will never laugh again
The mothers tears
The fathers sorrow
The weeping children cannot understand
Is this really our civilized world
Where love and reason stand as sacred words
If that's the way it is, then this world is no place for me
