Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In this very moment agony exists
Unbeknownst to an unforgiving force
Some pray, some bend, without consolation
The pure lie beneath us while the scum walk the earth
Why can't we heal them? Why can't we see them?
Can we keep hoping? No one knows for sure
Blamelessly renouncing, guilt has no bearing
I must believe that there is a better way
[Verse 2]
Beholder of justice
Who have you abandoned?
Beholder of justice
Why have you forgotten us?
[Verse 3]
Why have you forgotten us?
Why!
Why must the innocent die?
[Verse 4]
If I could reverse this I swear I would
I would take the pain away I swear to you
Broken souls and misery it seems are too far gone
Now we can only ask and wish for our complete redemption
[Verse 5]
Beholder of justice
Who have you abandoned?
Beholder of justice
Why have you forgotten us?
[Verse 6]
Why!
Does such innocence suffer while the evil prospers?
Why!
Beholder of justice
Why have you forgotten us?
[Verse 7]
How can I stand by your judgement?
How can I stand by your judgement?
How can I stand by your judgement?
[Verse 8]
Beholder of justice
Who have you abandoned?
Beholder of justice
Why have you forgotten us?
