Living Shields (session version)

Cry and die, the heroines and the heroes
And the children falling for their lives
They're shooting at terrorists
They're screaming for their love
And young lives lost in the open field

Pain and fear are staked on an ancient race
Between people torn by their hatred
Willing to die, willing to kill
Hopeless and blind in their world, where innocence dies

Cry and die, the heroines and the heroes
And the children falling for their lives
They're shooting at terrorists
They're screaming for their love
And young lives lost in the open field

Youth and evil are staked in an ancient war
With people not so different from you
Willing to fight, willing to die
To win an endless battle of pride, while innocence dies

And then we see them running
See the world is watching this
And we can only try to understand what causes it
And then we see the living
See them crying for their dead
Are we the ones to understand how crazy pain can be?
Some people turn in circles
They can never break it through
Some people lost their lives before they died
And they want it back

Loss and grief
Surrender by an ancient pain caused by a miss

Cry and die, the heroines and the heroes
And the children falling for their lives
They're shooting at terrorists
They're screaming for their love
And young lives lost in the open field
