I see something from afar
Shapes struggling and approaching
Souls riding waves of fear
Agony and distant voices
Fire reflecting in their eyes
Same fire in the background
Ashes dance like fireflies
But you can smell the burnt flesh
Tell me for how long
Can I hold my breath
Tell me when all this will end
Breathe in pain
And pointless death
Mama, can you take all this away
We stand numbing from the scene
Witnessing human behavior
We close our eyes, we close our ears
We turn our backs to this inferno
Another set has been revealed
Another doom, another failure
Empty searching for the truth
For relief
Tangled up inside this terror
Tell me for how long
Can I hold my breath
Tell me when all this will end
Breathe in pain
And pointless death
Mama, can you take all this away
Breathe in pain
And pointless death
Mama, can you take all this away


So many crimes
Abandoned places
The story repeats itself
The story repeats itself
The story repeats itself
The story repeats itself
So many cries
Get the message
Read between the lines
Read between the lines

Read between the lines
Take it all away
Take it all away
Take it all away
Take it all away
Tell me for how long can I hold my breath
Tell me when all this will end
Greed of pain and pointless death
Mama can you take all this away
