the breath of God is gone 

the breath of God is gone 

feel the iron hand closing in 

the screams are swallowed by the darkness of 

the womb swearing to a deity in whom they don't believe 

their lifted voices are the pictures of the past 

so the choice is made 

to strip away a pulse and a chance to love 

they said that she'd be fine 

the memories are still the splinters in her heart 

they're trying to forget 

and wipe away her regret 

God forgave them but they won't forgive themselves 

the breath of God is gone 

the breath of God is gone 

try to take control 

of the lack of self control 

try to take control 

but you can't kill a soul 

we won't forget 

so drop the line 

we've swallowed lies 

but murder is not a choice 

when will this end? 

when will this end?
