Listen & view Rainwound - United (Instrumental) lyrics & tabs

I could feel the wind in my hair, the breeze was a welcome change
Such a busy morning, some things always stay the same
Then I saw them, under a charcoal sky
Hope was stalling and no one would tell me why
An urge to help them but not a path to go
I wanted to save them, but nobody heard my cries
I was frozen, I saw but could not believe my eyes
Trapped in a dream from which I could not arise
I wanted to help them, my effort was lost in the dust
Before I could move, a cloud of ash had overtaken us
Can't see -- the devil stands before me
Can't hear -- but I can sense the fear
Can't breathe -- can't find the strength to leave
Can't move -- there's nothing I can do
Won't feel -- My body's numb from the pain
Won't cry -- although the ashes sting my eyes
Won't fear -- they need me to be strong
Can't move -- there's nothing I can do
Ten years gone since I witnessed that day
Not a day passed that the memory did not remain
I've seen the pain that they caused
Irrational hate that gave the whole nation pause
The fear that we all had that day
Soon was repl aced with unrequited rage
For those who hurt the ones we love
When my only comfort came from God above
Although I was just a child then, that day will live with me forever
I couldn't forget it if I tried
And now I'm ten years older and the world is still torn asunder
By endless war and constant lies
Years go on, but it all stays the same
There are those who still lie and kill in God's name
A promise of change we never received
And visions of a hope that we cannot retrieve
