lyrics

Oh, the world is aching
She can hardly catch her breath
Oh, her lovely heart is breaking
She’s given us her all and we’ve pressed her near to death

There was a time when man could read her face
Those who would press their ears to the ground
To discern her whispered words
Can they still be heard?

Or are we killing them right along with it?
are we killing them right along with it?
Killing them right along with it?

Oh, my mother taught me
To be grateful for what she gave
And if I in turn disgraced her
Then she’d swiftly turn back and she’d take those gifts away

There was a day when people knew her grace
Those who were taught from the day they were born
To kiss the beast they struck down
Can they still be found?

Or are we killing them right along with it?
are we killing them right along with it?
Killing them right along with it?

Oh, the world is trembling
If we bend her more, she fears she’ll break
Her desperate plea she’s murmuring,
and if a woman tells him no, a man has no right to take

There are so few who still can read her signs
And what will become of them when she’s shackled and shorn,
are they sure to die by her side?
Our only chance to understand her
Is to listen to those in which she confides

And we’re killing them right along with it
Yes, we're killing them right along with it
Killing them right along with it.
Right along with it….
