I heard a gunshot out in the open I felt the bullet rip through the heart of the night I saw the wound: red, gushing, gaping Staring me down, telling me strange things "Tear me apart," I heard it cry ♪ And I was so caught up in what I had seen I just forgot to turn and run ♪ And then I felt it Like the fury of a thousand spirits cast over the ocean It will swallow us whole for what we have done I felt the pain take a hold of my senses Strike me down, and pull the air from my lungs And I was told -- I was told to stop this torture We should hold ourselves We should hold ourselves accountable We should hold ourselves accountable For our own end
