We Cry As One Lyrics

We Cry As One lyrics

A deep frustration's running through my veins, 

A dark light's entering
the church 

By pale glass windows 

And I feel so cold. 



I can't stop looking at the wooden box placed 

In the very centre of
the nave. 

I'm trying to imagine you... 

...Sleeping. 



We're in the home 

Of life and death, 

Where each being takes
end. 

And time flows with the sand! 



We cry as one, 

Your friends, your family. 

Death has stained this day. 

And now
he's gone away. 



I think you would be smiling 

Listening to
this priest today 

Before his church. 

I can still remember 

Your songs about Christendom and slavery. 



I can't realise! 

Death before my eyes! 

Listening to this sermon's lies! 



He's never seen you! 

He's never talked to you! 

How can his
white lies be true? 



But I have to understand, 

This prayer
that pays tribute too 

It's not here to be true, but to help us go
through 

The deep pain that we bear, the way we all suffer. 

Our
dreams of paradise get the pain out of our minds.
