I've seen the evil so many hands have done 
I've seen the beauty of the earth and of the setting sun 
And on my knees I've begged for battles to be won 
But when we bleed no more, what do we [bad word]  

And when at last we breathe our final precious breath 
I hope there's something more 
What are we hoping for? 
(What are we yearning for?) 

Without a guiding hand we wander endlessly 
I a fool to seek release from all that's killing me? 
When time has passed for once held cetainties 
need remains: a refuge from your misery 

And when at last we breathe our final precious breath 
And when at last we're summoned unto death 
Is there an open door? 
Will there be any more? 
What will remain from all these dying things we're living for? 

I've seen the evil so many hands have done 
I've seen the beauty of the earth and of the setting sun 
And on my knees I've cried to you for battles to be won 
Will you be standing there when the dying is done?
