Lyrics
V1 Helpless in my grief I watched insanity unfold around me as the darkness gripped my soul I reached out for a hand I closed my eyes to make it go away but in my heart it planted seeds of evil, weeds of hate I couldn't understand V2 I watched the giants tumble down Castrated city screams in fear but not the concrete, not the steel that caused my soul to bleed innocence was lost forever taken like the rape of children taken in this vileness obscenity indeed (refrain) Too much crying too much dying too much crying too much dying V3 For all the sadness, all the grief something shines so bright you know compassion, love and kindness have dulled the sword of fear a global nightmare takes it's toll can we awake, and let it not consume us in it's ugliness, assume it's stark veneer. V4 I know I'm not alone in feeling that the world has lost it's way we stand poised at a crossroad which way will we turn revenge, some say, would be so sweet let's nuke the bastards, get it over fear breeds fear, hate breeds hate will we ever learn? (refrain) Too much crying too much dying too much crying too much dying
