Obscure the Sky Lyrics

Holy, this night that I pray
From the womb of my dying mother
The blood of her thigh reveals her shameThe scanning and screening my mind
Wasn't born to cry my heart out
Is this the last time we will hear
Our children cry out?Obscure the sky, obscure my eyes
From this world we could not hide
Will this pain we have, be shed?
Then I know we'd make it togetherHolding this breath that I stole
From a beam of light I followed
I cannot forget the things I've seenThey're dying for freedom in vain
While we all just watch and wonder
Is this the last time we will hear
Our children cry out?Obscure the sky, obscure my eyes
From this world we could not hide
Will this pain we have, be shed?
Then I know we'd make itOnce I was born to look in the eyes
Of a world that was calling my name

Now I can't hearWhat of these millions
And this pain they must bear?
Never to hear, never to see
From the shadowsBreaking the silence they kill
In cold blood that pours down on me
I wear like a crest when I recallThis vision that glows through the night
While I wish that I was dreaming
Is this the last time we will hear
Our children cry out?Obscure the sky, obscure my eyes
From this world we could not hide
Will this pain we have, be shed?
Then I know we'd make it together, breaking the silence
