I Heard a Cry

I heard a cry far away
Lingering, echoing its way
A wave piercing my brain
Somebody calling its name
I heard a cry far away
Lingering, echoing its way
A wave piercing my brain
Somebody calling your name

For what it was
In the victim's eye
Hey, just a dead end
Became a fatal cry

Accusers accused of
Redeeming, repeating the old sins
Pointing fingers covered in young blood

It wasn't your intention
You just sold the land you called your own
And yet you said, "Let's keep pretending"
Oh, can't you see the damage is done?

But I heard a cry far away
We all heard a cry far away

I heard a cry far away
Lingering, echoing its way
Hey, it's not a dead end
We won't break the chain
I heard a cry far away
Lingering, echoing its way
A wave piercing my brain
Somebody calling your name
I heard a cry far away
Lingering, echoing its way
Hey, it's not a dead end
We won't break the chain
