lyrics

Our lives march on
While theirs are gone
When we saw them
Our eyes felt it
I can't ask why
Life stumbled and they died
Who knows when how
This stops consuming us now

Where were you when the axe fell
Bringing up to earth a fiery hell
When were you when time froze
Why lord - only he knows
Where were you when the axe fell
33 dead and gone and on and on
It goes again and again

Early morning, barely dawn
Barely dew or sunshine on
Then the fear game began
Veiled in cowardice again
Why it happens I don't know
Every year in many homes
Everyday and every night
Why oh why do we even try
When I think of every life
Cut short by evil's knife
Disillusioned diplomat
With those teary eyes and warm regret
Those days they'll never have
Those laughs they'll never laugh
How I wish that I could've known
Cos I would've traded my life for their own

Where were you when the axe fell
Bringing up to earth a fiery hell
When were you when time froze
Why lord - only he knows
Where were you when the axe fell
33 dead and gone and on and on
It goes again and again

We've got the fire of a hope in our eyes
We've got our hands on a vision and peace is the prize
