Silent Ruin |
| Wash the blood from my hands |
| Take the pain from my heart |
| I just can’t understand |
| What it is that we do What’s the thread running through |
| The heritage of man |
| How can I justify to my child what we’re doing |
| When I can’t explain it myself |
| And if I close my eyes to the wild silent ruin |
| Then I’m just like everyone else |
| And I cry for their beauty; |
| I cry for their pain |
| And I cry that my child may not see them again |
| Will I leave her a legacy she’s being denied |
| Oh I pray that we will when I kiss her goodbye |
| How can I justify to my child what we’re doing |
| When I can’t explain it myself |
| And if I close my eyes to the wild silent ruin |
| Then I’m just like everyone else |
| Oh I dream of a time in the future |
| When we can renurture the damage we’ve done |
| For although there’s a dark side to all human nature |
| Our true selves are born in the sun |
| Our true selves are born in the sun |
| Please explain to me what we have done |
