The tortuous pain of the thirst for justice Is gnawing at the victim's soul The slaughtered innocents weep and wait At heaven's gate Hear the thunder roll The blood and tears of their life have torn apart The souls of generations Lord heal every heart Until the victims can rest in peace Our striving will not cease I'm begging you Lord, open your door Open it wide let 1.5 million inside To sleep close to you and Lord as they do Give us the strength to overcome. Then when the battle's won Heal our wounds make us whole And plant a song within our soul Ossified bodies in a half dead trance Were forced to migrate as the enemy advanced Helpless infants pleading mother's eyes Red rivers of blood: when will you realize When will you be enlightened and recognize the crime Maybe hopefully one day with the passing of time And when you do let it be understood That nothing can bring healing like true remembrance could. A century of denial has left Armenians in their grief But true acknowledgment would bring blessed relief I'm begging you Lord, open your door Open it wide let 1.5 million inside To sleep close to you and Lord as they do Give us the strength to overcome Then when the battle's won Heal our wounds make us whole And plant a song within our soul
