Rachel weeping for her children















Give me
the cold and the stars
give me
war and burning cars
give me
all the sin behind your eyes
what do you know about it, man?
I'm doing everything I can
to keep the heavens
from falling

give me
filth and sad songs
give me
endless excuses and retribution
give me
mankind on its knees
who keeps score
when we're all dead?
I'm disgusted
but I can't get away
you constrain me
to stay in the fray

the world needs hope
but hope's not enough
can you hear your mother pleading?
can you feel
the evil in your land?
tonight
we all cry for you.
