And Who Heard You?

As if a spell seals people's ears
We stopped weeping cause no one hears

We lost a lot and strived for years
In God We trusted and gave up our fears

But if God was not enough 
If the prayers were of no use

Tyrany, gifted to a child since birth
What pain like this can prayers reduce

Why do we have to bear a curse
How can we praise with such despair

What common brings our map to yours
if you believed we were never there

how come we pay and others eat
a bill always ready and spare

But you tasted this bitter fate
why would you take us also there

What sin avenges lives of youth
standing up against you all?

What nerves you have to face the truth
never waste your time to take a soul

You'll have everyone around to soothe
the tears you stole from their innocent eyes

You'll stand up saying words of a fool
they'll clap so hard, you pay them nice
