Broken SymphonyVerse 1I look at the playground where we used to runBefore we drew lines under a fading sunNow the news is a fire that we cannot tameAnd everyone is whispering a different nameWe are building up walls made of heavy stoneTrading our peace just to stand alone.ChorusAnd it’s black against white in the evening lightLeft against right in a endless fightWe’ve got cross against crescent on a battlefieldWaiting to see which side will yieldOh, we’re growing up fast in a world so coldTrading our youth for the grudges of oldHow did we break what was meant to bend?When did the beginning become the end?Verse 2My mother told me that love was a shieldBut love gets lost on a partisan fieldYou’re either the saint or you’re the thiefJudged by your ballot or your holy beliefI miss the quiet before the divideWhen we had nothing we needed to hide.ChorusWhen it’s black against white in the evening lightLeft against right in a endless fightWe’ve got cross against crescent on a battlefieldWaiting to see which side will yieldOh, we’re growing up fast in a world so coldTrading our youth for the grudges of oldHow did we break what was meant to bend?When did the beginning become the end?BridgeAnd my voice is cracking from the weight of it allWatching the giants stumble and fallWe bleed the same color when we’re torn apartBut we lock the doors to the human heartIs anyone listening?Is anyone tired of the rage?Guitar/Piano Solo (Sustained, emotional chords)ChorusCrying black against white in the evening lightLeft against right in this endless fightWe’ve got cross against crescent on a battlefieldGod only knows which side will yieldYeah, we grew up too fast in a world so coldBleeding ourselves for the grudges of oldHow did we break what was meant to bend?When did the beginning become the end?OutroLook at the playground, the shadows are longWe forgot the words to our favorite songJust a broken world, spinning in the darkHoping a whisper can find a sparkYeah, hoping a whisper...Can find a spark.
