We Hurt For You

My arms are being torn from me 
And I'm braced so I can't fight them.
I can feel the chains digging 
Into my soul. My tears are mixing
With my blood.

I can feel my blood slowly hardening
On my body. Chains are holding me
Still so I can't fight those who hurt me.
My arms have fallen now. The only part
Of me left, is trapped.

My body is leaning 
Back now, My friends
Are watching in horror as
I'm beginning to 
Fall.

My screams echo when I 
Fall.
My friend screams as she gets cut
And I look up to her 
And stop at what I see. 

Everyone has fallen around me
And there's nothing left.
Now I know why we were hurt.
It's simple we hurt for you.
