Who can save us from ourselves

There is nowhere to run

No way to escape the guilt that is ready to consume us

Bloody memories taunt and haunt you

Was it right to end one life for the sake of yours

Left alone to endure the nightmares that never cease

What is God's will in all this?

For your country, you stand tall against offenders

Will you stand just as tall when judgement day comes?

So I say who can save us from ourselves

When it's time to face the truth

For we cannot undo what is done
