Song lyrics
For whom the gun tolls
For whom the prey weeps
Bow before a war
Call it religion

Some wounds never heal
Some tears never will
Dry for the unkind
Cry for mankind

Even the dead cry
Their only comfort
Kill your friend, I don`t care
Orchid kids, blinded stare

Need to understand
No need to forgive
No truth no sense left to be followed

Facing this unbearable fear like meeting an old friend
Time to die, poor mates, you made me what I am

In this world of a million religions everyone prays the same way
Your praying is in vain, it`ll all be over soon
Father help me, save me a place by your side
There is no god, our creed is but for ourselves

Not a hero unless you die
Our species eat the wounded ones

Drunk with the blood of your victims
I do feel your pity-wanting pain
Lust for fame, a deadly game

Run away with your impeccable kin

Good wombs hath borne bad sons...

Cursing, God, why ?
Falling for every lie
Survivors` guilt
In us forevermore

15 candles
Redeemers of this world
Dwell in hypocrisy
How were we supposed to know ?

This song is really great. The whole thing really portrays the Columbine Tragedy in a way that makes me sick, but I love it...

Ok i've been wondering, i read these lyrics and I always thought she said something different some of the lyrics make more sense then what I thought she said except for "Not a hero unless you die, our species eats the wounded ones" I always thought she said "Lost patience in the wounded ones" can someone give me some feedback

I guess some of the lyrics are a little hidden-meaningy, they are definitely right though if thats what you were meaning!

Excelent song !
I think it reflects a little bit of what we live everyday
All the injustice.
