Day of Wrath - after Verdi

歌詞

Can you hear it? Can you feel it? Something is coming We carved our names in monuments We wrote our wars in stone We buried boys in foreign dirt And called the ground our own The bells rang out in empty towers The maps were drawn in red A thousand years of history And still we choose to fight How many graves must we remember? How many names must disappear? If history was meant to teach us Why are we still standing here? (Dies irae, dies illa) This is the day of wrath Hear the thunder calling (Solvet saeclum in favilla) This is the day of wrath Hear the heavens falling What have we learned? What have we done? What will be left When tomorrow comes? Day of wrath Day of wrath The judgment has begun A child looks through a broken wall And asks what lies ahead We speak of peace and liberty While counting up the dead We hand them ashes for a harvest We hand them borders, walls and wire Then tell them they can fix a world We failed to leave behind How many fires must keep on burning? How many mothers have to cry? How can we promise them tomorrow While we teach another child to die? (Dies irae, dies illa) This is the day of wrath Hear the thunder calling (Solvet saeclum in favilla) This is the day of wrath Hear the heavens falling What have we learned? What have we done? What will be left When tomorrow comes? Day of wrath Day of wrath The judgment has begun Tell me What is a man If mercy makes him weak? What is a nation If children pay the price? What is a future Built on sacrifice? We prayed to gods We prayed for peace We begged the war We begged the hate to cease But maybe heaven Never turned away Maybe we Created judgment day (Choir: Quantus tremor est futurus) (Choir: Quando judex est venturus) Do you hear the drums? Do you hear them now? No angel comes No trumpet sounds No hand of God Will strike us down We built this fire We wear the crown THIS IS THE DAY OF WRATH Let the whole world hear it THIS IS THE DAY OF WRATH Can you feel it burning? What have we learned? What have we done? Look in the eyes Of our daughters and sons DAY OF WRATH DAY OF WRATH The judgment has begun (Dies irae, dies illa) THIS IS THE DAY OF WRATH Now the sky is burning (Solvet saeclum in favilla) What will we leave When we are gone? A grave for the children Or somewhere to belong? DAY OF WRATH DAY OF WRATH The judgment has begun No savior No sign No voice from the sky Only us Only now Only one question Are we still human? DAY OF WRATH
