Akissforjersey - New bodies

My God how ruined we are, alone how great is our shame
while death climbs through our windows
steals the blood from our veins
the bodies will lie like refuse on the field
cut grain behind the reaper with no one to gather them

If the only home I hope for is the grave
if I have no heart to set between my shoulder blades
if I stand idle while my brothers are enslaved
where is my hope, where is my hope

Living life our way, such a guilty waste
so desperate for a change
on our own all alone
too afraid to look above
we've been hiding from the sun, oh my God wake us up

Oh my God wake us up

There's no other name in which my soul can rest
just move my feet and press me forward, my words confess
if I stand idle by, tell me what's left for me
am I still yours, am I still yours

Living life our way, such a guilty waste
so desperate for a change
on our own all alone
too afraid to look above
we've been hiding from the sun, oh my God wake us up

This doubt that I feel rises up and has its hands around my neck
but there's power in the blood to endure all of this pain and regret

Stand up, be the change that you're meant to be
stand up, find strength in urgency

Living life our way, such a guilty waste
so desperate for a change
on our own all alone
too afraid to look above
we've been hiding from the sun, oh my God wake us up
