As Cities Burn--The Widow

Notice: I do not own the Rights to this song i did not write the music and am only putting the music up for entertainment purposes so enjoy and dont get angry

Dead man, were you ever alive?
Or was I just a seed you buried deep inside
Some woman you wed
Right before you crawled out of her bed and crept down the hall?
Did you think of me?
Did you even for a second hesitate in the doorway?
It's just something that I'd like to know
Though I'd still love you if told me
You just walked away

My God, what a world you love
Where men bury their sons
And without thought just walk away

And my mother's heart breaks
Like the water inside of her
[x2]

Dead man, is it being high that makes you alive?
It makes you leave behind three boys and a wife in '89
As the track marks inched their way up your arm
My mother taught my brothers and I not to call you daddy
But to call you father

But I believe there is something here to be learnt of grace
'Cause I can't help but love you
Even with a heart that breaks
Like the promises that you made
Like the promises that you made
The promises that you made

My God, what a world you love

I'm a Christian, and I even avoid religious debates because it gets you nowhere. Plus, half the "Christians" that are starting these debates don't know what they're talking about. Once an atheist or agnostic gives them a rebuttal that they can't answer, they start condemning and judging that person. Sorry to be a hater on my own people, but a YouTube thread is no place to start a holy war. Witnessing is better left face to face on a more personal level than a cold thread. God bless!

@21dirtbikegirl thanks for the input, though if you didnt make assumptions that i am christian, it would be greatly appreciated considering i am not, and whether god is capitalized or not has no importance to me honestly, plus even so, its the internet and proper punctuation has all but gone to shit, so why would u even care

Memories with this song.

I'm an atheist and I love Christian Metal. How about that :P

@spizec When a band follows themes that people can't relate to, it's kind of hard for those people not to point out those features.

Not that hard to figure out.

Hey guys, shut up...you hear that? The silence and the music blending into perfect harmony? I'm a christian, and I love this song. Now all of you need to stop disputing their lyrics. If you have a problem with the song, don't listen. Most of you just came looking for a fight. Now, enjoy the music or get out.

Here is a hint: If you don't want to have religion mentioned, then don't even acknowledged anything.

[musicluver71]

this song will always be one of my favorites. Dead man.. we're you ever.. alive?

@sackd18w And if you cannot look past views while listening to music than you don't deserve to listen to good music. Go listen to K3$#A asshole.

I was about to like this band until i saw all the religious bullsh*t.... I guess music can't just be music anymore...

[Bleh971]

I used to be agnostic. Just recently fully went to athiest. I was baptized a catholic. Religion wise I've been through some... The music is still great :)

The song talks about shooting up and its not all based on religion.
