The Weight

Is it the silence Within the screams That led me barefoot Into the streets Hold my hand And I'll hold yours too Like lambs to the slaughter Revealing the truth Will we make it through the night Only time will tell Is this my last sip of water My last night in hell Open your eyes Come see the lights Oh how they scream Throughout the night Once was a city Now is our grave Like lambs to the slaughter where no one escapes Will we make it through the night Only time will tell Is this my last sip of water My last night in hell Don't close your eyes I'll collect that piece of you later Don't try to speak We haven't yet earned that honor Its the weight of it all That drags us down The weight of it all From river to sea Our hands will be clean Who's the martyr now
