A night on the town, his girl by his side Misfortune struck on their path A senseless fight took away a young life Just because they couldn't stand his stare We just walk on, blood covers the streets I close my eyes but still hear it Oh we can judge be we won't interfere So her cries went out in vain. I scream so hard and long from the highest tower Does the fear run so deep that we can't devour Violence rules our world; can you call me a liar?? While our cities burn so bright from the fires All in vain Was justice served? All in vain Still nothing learned. All in vain A sign of times when there's no hope for stopping all this We will be sentenced for life The rage goes on again and again Bitterness controlling our streets They serve their time While we are sentenced to to life Our wounds, they run so deep When is the time that we'll take a stand We can't be so blind we can't see it I still have my belief in mankind My cries won't go out in vain! I scream so hard and long from the highest tower Does the fear run so deep that we can't devour Violence rules our world; can you call me a liar?? While our cities burn so bright from the fires All in vain Was justice served? All in vain Still nothing learned. All in vain A sign of times when there's no hope for stopping all this We will be sentenced for life I scream so hard and long from the highest tower Does the fear run so deep that we can't devour Violence rules our world; can you call me a liar?? While our cities burn so bright from the fires All in vain Was justice served? All in vain Still nothing learned. All in vain A sign of times when there's no hope for stopping all this We will be sentenced for life
