After The Storm

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

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 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
