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
