Praying For Silence

(The violence last night spread)

(As there was a firestorm of riots)

(Extraordinary reports of gangs)

(And hundreds of opium masks used)

(Such a shock of violence and looting)

(Widespread looting)

(And it vindicated that according to local residents)

(The police were either too late or they didn't arrive)

The answer holds a painful truth (Painful truth)

The hurt will always come back to you (Come back to you)

Said we're praying for silence (For silence)

And now we're burning with violence (Violence)

The answer holds a painful truth (Painful truth)

The start will always begin with you (Begin with you)

We've been praying for silence (For silence)

And now we're burning with violence

(Violence, violence, violence, violence)

(Violence, violence, violence, violence)

(Violence, violence, violence, violence)

(Violence)

And now we're burning with violence

And now we're burning with

Burning with

Violence

And now we're burning with violence

'Cause in this world

We work together

Make it work for all of us (All of us)

Stop the pain and blame it on the media (Media)

We make our world

(World, world, world, world, world)
