Song updated, review now!
The still and silence is torn with violence
A loud breaking sound in the night is made
Hear it grow, hear it fade

The sound you're hearing, the sound you're fearing
Is the hate that parades up and down our streets
Coming within bounds and within reach

Now, inside the place we hide away
We hear it near and hope it turns away, turn away

There's something seething in the air we're breathing
We learn slash and burn is the method to use
Set a flame, burn it new

We're overpowered, we kneel, we cower
We cover our heads, feel the threat of blows that will come
And the damage that will be done in its wake

Now, inside this place we hide away
We hear it near although it's miles away
We hear it near and hope it turns away, turn away

This house divided, we live inside it
Hate's dwelling place is behind our doors
In fitful nights hear it walk the floor and hear it rave
As it moans and drags along its ball and chain
As it moves through this house, it can't escape

Now, inside this place we hide away
We hear it near and hope it turns away, turn away
Turn away, turn away, turn away, turn away
