How Many Souls

from Blue Sunset by Englewood

/

lyrics

How many times must we lose our friends.
How many times, before this ends.
How much more blood will have to be shed.
How can we keep on just counting the dead.

When did our neighbors’ lives become so cheap,
That we sacrifice them without even losing sleep. When did
money and guns become more valuable than lives.
Have we lost our souls while we closed our eyes?

How many souls have died for our sins?
We never noticed the flames, while we played our violins.
How many souls are we willing to lose?
And later we’ll be horrified while we watch the news.

How much more blood? How much more pain?
How many more who we’ll
never see again.
How many more times to rationalize
empowering evil, ignoring the cries.

How did we learn to be deaf, to be blind?
To forget the next day, to just say “never mind”.
Why aren’t we rising as one to say no?
When will our souls finally be allowed to grow?

How many souls have died for our sins?
We never noticed the flames, while we played our violins.
How many souls are we willing to lose?
And later we’ll be horrified while we watch the news.

How many souls? How many souls?
