I can still hear them crying for mercy
Screaming in anger
I can still see the face in the darkness
Mirror their pain
It was not their fault
But they suffer anyway
Life's cheap so they say when the time comes
To pay you'll be waiting
The voice of a lost generation the cost
Is a crime
And history screams out but they do it anyway
Let the video roll cause you're burning
My soul with your message
The sound and the vision bring pictures
(into my home)
And the children they cry; but life goes on anyway
You can see the thunder in her eyes
Even though the blood runs so cold
Keep a fire burning in your heart
After the storm
You can see the fire in her eyes
Soon the day will come when we will rise
Till then you'll have to tow the line
After the storm
I can still hear them crying for mercy
Screaming in pain
You're just a man with your head in the sand
Not to blame
You're such a long way from here
Such a long way from here
If I ever get out of here
Fall to my knees and say a prayer
If I ever get out of this place
Fall to my knees accept my fate
You can see the thunder in her eyes
Even though the blood runs so cold
Keep a fire burning in your heart
After the storm
You can see the fire in her eyes
Soon the day will come when we will rise
Till then you'll have to tow the line
After the storm
Nowhere to run...
After the storm...
Your day will come
