We Hear Innocence Cry

So we stand by and hear innocence cry.
Our hands by our sides with lies in our eyes.
No tears should we cry, no tears dare we cry? 
As we stand by and hear innocence cry.

We fold our arms and stand by the side. We look at the black in the dark night. 
We close our eyes to the murderous tide.

We stand by and watch innocence DIE.
