SHE'S BURNING 1

Lyrics

[Intro : Acoustic guitar and clean electric guitar notes] [Verse 1] You lose your mind, you lose your soul, And sudden so, Jah love no longer dwells within your heart. You build up walls of anger, crying words of war, In your small mind, you think you wear the crown of victory. [Verse 2] She bears the heavy cross, her lips are sealed, Hiding the tears, keeping the faith for the little ones. While the foundation of her life is breaking down, Torn apart like a dry leaf blowing in the wind. [Verse 3] The darkness takes control, your hands become a cage, The sacred home is turned into your battlefield. She stands trembling beneath the shadow of your fist, Too afraid to break the chains and say goodbye. [Verse 4] Scars on the skin, marks of the heavy tribulation, Her spirit is weary, trapped inside this house of fear. So far away from the sweet days of promises, When words were like honey, and the path was paved with flowers. [Chorus] Her light is fading, slowly drifting away, Under the weight of your unrighteous hands. The stormy grey that clouds her eyes today, Is the print of the pain you’ve given her. [Verse 5] She wants to cry out loud to the world, But fear keeps her captured in the midnight hour. With no weapon but her faith, defenceless in the storm, She prays to the Almighty Jah to set her free from you. [Verse 6] You took a daughter of Zion, a beautiful soul, And tried to break her down like a punching bag. You blew out the candle, put out the fire, Of the golden years when love was running wild. [Verse 7] A strong little sister standing in the rain, Even when the physical strength begins to fail. You keep on pushing, driving the thorn deeper, Feeding your ego on the tears of the innocent. [Chorus] Her light is fading, slowly drifting away, Under the weight of your unrighteous hands. The stormy grey that clouds her eyes today, Is the print of the pain you’ve given her. [Outro] When the April sun did rise upon the earth, She did not open her eyes to see the morning light. Stolen away by a man lost in Babylon, A man she should have left behind so long ago. [Fin]
