[Intro: spoken]
What has happened to us.... look and see our disgrace.

[Verse]
Remember
O Lord
The desolation we see
Our inheritance turned to dust
No sanctuary free
Strangers feast upon what once was ours
Beneath this weight
We crumble
Devoured by powers

[Chorus]
Chains on our necks
We're dragged through the dirt
Our fathers' sins
The cause of this hurt
Joy extinguished
Our hearts turn to stone
Crown fallen
Left in darkness alone

[Verse 2]
Orphans we’ve become
No comfort
No shield
Mothers broken
Their wounds never healed
We labor for bread
Our skin scorched and torn
Under tyrants' hands
Our spirits forlorn

[Chorus]
Chains on our necks
We're dragged through the dirt
Our fathers' sins
The cause of this hurt
Joy extinguished
Our hearts turn to stone
Crown fallen
Left in darkness alone

[Guitar solo]

[Bridge]
Rise of the torment
Our laughter erased
The rhythm of sorrow
No joy can replace
With bowed heads
We walk through the ash
Memories haunt
As futures collapse

[Chorus]
Chains on our necks
We're dragged through the dirt
Our fathers' sins
The cause of this hurt
Joy extinguished
Our hearts turn to stone
Crown fallen
Left in darkness alone

[Outro]
Restore us
O Lord
To the days of our youth
Rebuild our ruins with eternal truth
Or have You forsaken
Cast us away
Shadows of ruin
Forever we stay
