After Forever - Beneath Lyrics
Bewildered by silenceStuck by its questions and lucid ways to make us awareI did not know how cruel that could beThat so many cases will never be solvedThat so many stories will never be toldI did not know how cruel that could beFighting a war that rages insideThe world can't see the hate that burns in thereHow can we face what lies beneath,If we just fear and don't 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 numbSo hard, so cruel, we fail to see, we fail to feel?So afraid, even without thecourage of despair?Fighting a war that rages insideThe world can't see the hate that burns in thereHow can we face what lies beneath,If we just fear and don't fight back?Afraid of ourselves, arfaid to stand upI did not know how cruel that could beWe failed to see, we failed to feelStill 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?Nothing's wrong, you're 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 whyWhy still?Fighting a war that rages insideThe world can't see the hate that burns in thereHow can we face what lies beneath,If we just fear and don't fight back?
