The Witness Lyrics

Kyrie, kyrie eleison
Kyrie, kyrie eleison
Kyrie eleison
Kyrie eleison

I had a dream last night
The same old dream I've had every night since I was a child:
There's a little girl lost in the middle of an immense battlefield
There is fire and rage everywhere
She has a sword and a feather in her hands

Close your eyes, don't leave me here alone
Do you hear the angels crying?
Helpless they're waiting for me in the dark

Come with me, there's no way out
I cannot escape the rage and the fire
I'm lost with a sword and a feather in my hands

I shall be the silent witness in the dark
The time has come, I can see Death walking all around

Now tell me why I'm here with a feather in my hand
Tell me why I'm here with a sword in my hand
I'm cold inside, I am just a little girl in a game I don't understand
Don't leave me here alone

Now look at these men in shining uniforms
Carrying their guns like a scepter of joy and glory
They fall with fear and madness in their eyes

Deep inside your heart, deep inside your mind
There is blood on this blade, there is blood on your face Deep inside your heart, deep inside your mind
There is fear in your eyes, there is blood in your hands
Deep inside your heart, deep inside your soul
There is war outside and you don't even know why
There is no way out, there's nowhere to hide
Now's the time for you to get on your knees and pray

Look at them, there's madness in their eyes
And fear on their face, the fear for losing their lives
Randomly they shoot in the dark
Surrounded by the tears, the cries and the fire
While I'm lost with a sword and a feather in my hands

I shall be the silent witness in the dark
On the brink of tears, I can see death walking all around

Now look at the suffering, listen to the cries:
Too late for you to open their eyes!
The core of the problem in their natures lies:
There's war in their hearts, they don't even know why!

Now tell me why I'm here with a feather in my hand
Tell me why I'm here with a sword in my hand
O Mothers, how long will you have to cry
With your children dying in your arms?
