[Intro] [Chorus] Read about the sorry way he done somebody’s daughter Chained to a heavy thing and threw her in the water And she sank into the darkness with their baby son inside her A little piece of truth and beauty died [Verse] Burnin’ up the atmosphere and cuttin’ down the trees The billion dollar bombin’ of a nation on its knees Anyone not marchin’ to their tune they call it treason Everyone says God is on his side See the lightnin’ hear the cries Of the wounded of a world in holy war Mortal thunder from the skies Killin’ everything they say they’re fightin for [Verse] Broken babies broken homes Broken hearted people dyin’ everyday How’d this happen what went wrong Don’t blame God I swear to God I heard Him say "Not in My name not on My ground I want nothin’ but the endin’ of the war No more killin’ or it’s over And the Mystery won’t matter anymore" [Verse] Broken dreamers broken rules Broken hearted people just like me and you We are children of the stars Don’t blame God I swear to God He’s cryin’ too "Not in My name not on My ground I want nothin’ but the endin’ of the war No more killin’ or it’s over And the Mystery won’t matter anymore" [Chorus] Read about the sorry way he done somebody’s daughter Chained her to a heavy thing and threw her in the water And she sank into the darkness with their baby son inside her A little piece of truth and beauty died
