Song lyrics downloaded from: https://www.albumsongandlyrics.com ------------------------------------------ After Forever - Beneath ------------------------------------------ Bewildered by silence Stuck by its questions and lucid ways to make us aware I did not know how cruel that could be That so many cases will never be solved That so many stories will never be told I did not know how cruel that could be Fighting a war that rages inside The world cant see the hate that burns in there How can we face what lies beneath, If we just fear and dont fight back? How many questions left unanswered? How many tears and inner strength shall we need? How any times can we encounter this again and again? How many things exist that blind us? How many forms of brutal violence can we see? How many images of pain will make us numb So hard, so cruel, we fail to see, we fail to feel? So afraid, even without thecourage of despair? Fighting a war that rages inside The world cant see the hate that burns in there How can we face what lies beneath, If we just fear and dont fight back? Afraid of ourselves, arfaid to stand up I did not know how cruel that could be We failed to see, we failed to feel Still afraid, what if you love someone? What if this happened to your loved ones? What would you do if you were there at that time? What makes you act like nothing happened? Nothings wrong, youre doing fine? What makes you think you are immune to this? What drove us so far to the edge of tolerance? If judging and accusing is so easy, then why Why still? Fighting a war that rages inside The world cant see the hate that burns in there How can we face what lies beneath, If we just fear and dont fight back?
