[Intro]

The violence last time spread

As there was a firestorm of riots

Extraordinary reports of gangs

Of hundreds of up to mass use

Setting shots, survive and looting

Widespread looting

And in many cases

According to local residents *woman screaming*

The police were even too lazy

When they did arrive

*police sirens*

*riot crowd*

[Chorus]

The answer holds a painful truth

And the hurt will always come back to you

Said we're praying for silence

And now we're burning with violence

The answer holds a painful truth

The start will always begin with you

We've been praying for silence

And now we're burning with violence

[Build]

Violence, violence, violence, violence

Violence, violence, violence, violence

Violence, violence, violence, violence

Violence

And now we're burning with violence

[Drop]

And now we're burning with, burning with

Violence

And now we're burning with violence

[Bridge]

Cause in this world

We work together, make it work for all of us

Stop the pain and blame it on the media

We make our world

Cause in this world

We work together, make it work for all of us

Stop the pain and blame it on the media

We make our world

[Chorus]

The answer holds a painful truth

And the hurt will always come back to you

Said we're praying for silence

And now we're burning with violence

The answer holds a painful truth

The start will always begin with you

We've been praying for silence

And now we're burning with violence

[Build]

Violence, violence, violence, violence

Violence, violence, violence, violence

Violence, violence, violence, violence

Violence

And now we're burning with violence

[Drop]

And now we're burning with, burning with

Violence

And now we're burning with violence

[Chorus]

The answer holds a painful truth

And the hurt will always come back to you

Said we're praying for silence

And now we're burning with violence

The answer holds a painful truth

The start will always begin with you

We've been praying for silence

And now we're burning with violence
