Another Child

Another child
Another loss
Another night we’re bent before the cross

What have we done
What are our sins
To force our God to make us witnesses

To all this death
To all these cries
To all the pain
Before our eyes

What have we won if our future’s undone
If our freedom has cost us our daughters and sons

What are we worth if our destiny’s cursed
If each mother’s heart’s burst with another child gone

Sympathetic
First there was one
Who disappeared
Thought it was done, but then our greatest fears

Superstitious
Were realized
And now it’s twelve
What can we do to stop the fall to hell?

We must behave
We must be brave
Must find the witch
No, we must pray

Preacher
Someone’s responsible, damned and abominable
We must stand honorable, the monster must die

All
Look for the signs of her, cripples and blasphemers
Birthmarks and dark arts and any white lie

James
You promised brother
If there’s another
We’d find Diana and bring her forward

We can’t protect her
They all suspect her
The signs all point in her direction

Aaron
I know you’re right
I will not fight
I gave her grace like any brother might

But now I see
That it won’t end
And we must bring our sister in

James
Let’s go

Aaron
Let’s go

Chorus
God give conviction, avenge each young victim
We’ll search for the villains and make them stand trial

We won’t be thwarted, our strength be rewarded
Like grains at the harvest, we’ll bring back each child

Robert Fell
What good is prayer if no innocent’s spared

Miriam
What good is love if it’s dead in the bud

James & Aaron
What good is family if she’s always damning us?

Diana
What good’s a religion that breeds so much killing?

All
We’ll kill for the good of another child!
