lyrics

Maria's mind is a battle zone
She's beaten and she's bled
The world around has abandoned her
She's got voices in her head
She carries her strife on her shoulder
Her words will make them cry
Inflict her pain on the others
She's a criminal and shall be tried

We cry blessed are the peacemakers
Forever shall they be
It's the end of times we'll stand for our crimes
Which one of those are thee

The rich man in the neighborhood
Thinks that he has wings
He gets off on the expense of those
He likes to pull their strings
But he hides his heart of sorrow
Fuels others misery
He spreads his wealth of agony
He's a criminal and shall see

We cry blessed are the peacemakers
Forever shall they be
It's the end of times we'll stand for our crimes
Which one of those are thee

A child in the classroom
High he holds his chin
Makes fun of the others
Who struggle to fit in
So what age defines evil
We're born with it inside
A natural desire to spread the fire
We're all criminals and shall be tried

We cry blessed are the peacemakers
Forever shall they be
It's the end of times we'll stand for our crimes
Which one of those are thee
