Praying for Silence

[Intro]
The violence last time spread
As there was a firestorm of riots
Extraordinary reports of gangs
Of hundreds of up to mass use
Setting shots, survive and looting
Widespread looting
And in many cases
According to local residents *woman screaming*
The police were even too lazy
When they did arrive
*police sirens*
*riot crowd*

[Chorus]
The answer holds a painful truth
And the hurt will always come back to you
Said we're praying for silence
And now we're burning with violence
The answer holds a painful truth
The start will always begin with you
We've been praying for silence
And now we're burning with violence

[Build]
Violence, violence, violence, violence
Violence, violence, violence, violence
Violence, violence, violence, violence
Violence
And now we're burning with violence

[Drop]
And now we're burning with, burning with
Violence
And now we're burning with violence

[Bridge]
Cause in this world
We work together, make it work for all of us
Stop the pain and blame it on the media
We make our world
Cause in this world
We work together, make it work for all of us
Stop the pain and blame it on the media
We make our world

[Chorus]
The answer holds a painful truth
And the hurt will always come back to you
Said we're praying for silence
And now we're burning with violence
The answer holds a painful truth
The start will always begin with you
We've been praying for silence
And now we're burning with violence

[Build]
Violence, violence, violence, violence
Violence, violence, violence, violence
Violence, violence, violence, violence
Violence
And now we're burning with violence

[Drop]
And now we're burning with, burning with
Violence
And now we're burning with violence

[Chorus]
The answer holds a painful truth
And the hurt will always come back to you
Said we're praying for silence
And now we're burning with violence
The answer holds a painful truth
The start will always begin with you
We've been praying for silence
And now we're burning with violence
