New World Widows

Spoke of honor, spoke of truth

Spoke of everything it made us do

In the name of a broken, but promised land

Down a path so worn out, stained red by man

And I never knew

How hatred could consume

In a prayer that no one heard

Cam the words to late to her

Carved in skin and heart since birth

Took on duties to cleanse this earth

From unbelievers, from those outside

Our eyes we close, our hearts we fortify

In a world that sleeps

Built to make us weak

Silence calling, how numb we all are

Tried to set it free

Tried to leave it be

Tried to spare your eyes and now just dream me away

Safe from harm now, safe we all are

Heaven to her, such beauty in your arms

I raise my hands as if time would stop

We all bow down, forgive us all

So afraid of what could occur

Forgot to heal what's sore

Spend a life taking back what's said

Just words you'll live to regret
