[Verse 1]
A verdict heard by the jury's word, they're lying
I watch as the victims of the slave ships battle with the demons inside
But, no wrong ever righted or proved by the innocent dying
I pray from the ashes of the ruins, the answer will rise

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey, yeah-yeah-yeah
Hear their screams as they rise from the ashes
Hey, hey, hey, yeah-yeah-yeah
Lord save the soul who can hear the scream

[Verse 2]
A child is born to a world that is slowly dying
He chooses to march to the beat of a different drum
Ooh, I say, a man lays dead in the street, his mama is crying
The people, they measure this man by the damage he's done

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey, yeah-yeah-yeah
Hear their screams as they rise from the ashes
Hey, hey, hey, yeah-yeah-yeah
Lord praise the man who can hear the scream
Ooh-ah, get it now

[Guitar Solo]
Lord, forgive our sins, I never meant all the things I've done
I never meant, I never meant, I never meant
I never meant, I never meant, I never meant
I never meant, I never meant

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey, yeah-yeah-yeah
Hear their screams as they rise from the ashes
Hey, hey, hey, yeah-yeah-yeah
Lord save the soul who can hear the scream

[Outro]
Hey, hey, hey, yeah-yeah-yeah
Lord raise the soul, lord raise the soul, lord raise the soul
Lord raise the soul, lord raise the soul, lord raise the soul
Lord raise the soul, lord raise the soul, lord raise the soul
Hey, hey, hey
