Swallow The Sun

Burden Of Grief

I am looking out my window 
Thinking of the world these days and I ask myself why 
Why there's so much pain and rancor 
Why there's war and poverty outside today 

Living in a dark age where people live in fear this time 
Drowning in the seas of life, humankind is lost tonight 

I watch it every day on TV 
See the people in the smut starving in their misery 
Lifeless children in their parents arms 
Lifeless bodies on the ground, the world is dying 

Living in a dark age where people live in fear this time 
Drowning in the seas of life, humankind is lost tonight 

[Pre-Chorus (2x):] 
I am out of my mind 
I can't bear this shit 
I cannot comprehend 
I wonder why... 

[Chorus (2x):] 
I wonder how I wonder why 
There is no sense in the world outside 

I see terrorists killing 
Bombing innocent people in the streets 
Wounded bodies, thousand corpses 
Killing, terror everywhere, for what a reason 

Living in a dark age where people live in fear this time 
Drowning in the seas of life, humankind is lost tonight 

At the thought of this sick world 
It is grim for me to recognize 
Why there's so much pain and hatred 
Why there's war and poverty outside today 

Living in a dark age where people live in fear this time 
Drowning in the seas of life, humankind is lost tonight 

[Pre-Chorus x2] 
[Repeat Chorus x2]
