The earth felt cold until it burned red hot in my hands
My eyes were truthful then, I was an ignorant man
The way the bombs explode, the way it tore up their skin
I was tryin' to spit, thought they were killing my friends

And the world was quaking open with all our fathers smiling
And the statues rose high above us and God remained silent

In their parents arms, the kids were falling apart
Broken tiny bodies holding tiny still hearts
There are myriad ways to destroy human skin
Red flesh exposed raw over and over again

And the world was quaking open with all our fathers smiling
And the statues rose high above us and God remained silent
And the world was quaking open with all our fathers smiling
And the statues rose high above us and God remained silent

It stung hot in my eyes, the illusion of justice
It burned deep in my face, felt unbearably selfish
In my mind right now it's just horrible darkness
Had to break away knowing no one can save us

All tears flow from the same source
The same source
All tears flow from the same source
The same source

And the world was quaking open with all our fathers smiling
And the statues rose high above us and God remained silent
And the world was quaking open with all our fathers smiling
And the statues rose high above us and God remained silent

Shame, shame
Shame, shame
