[Intro]
\n[Instrumental Intro: Low Organ Drone, Distant Snare, Slow Pulsing Bass]
\n[Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]<\/p>\n
Did you hear that cry…
\n(From the other side of the sky)
\nSmoke in the sun
\n(What have we done)<\/p>\n
[Instrumental]
\n[Slow Bass Walk]
\n[Organ Swell, Snare March]<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nSirens in the morning light
\n(Broken classroom floor)
\nLittle shoes in scattered lines
\n(They won’t run no more)<\/p>\n
Paper dreams and chalkboard dust
\n(Falling with the roof)
\nSomeone said it must be war
\n(But where is the proof)<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nHear the collateral cry
\n(Rising to the sky)
\nNo reason why
\n(No alibi)<\/p>\n
Hear the collateral cry
\n(Another lullaby)
\nHistory sighs
\n(While innocence dies)<\/p>\n
[Bridge \u2013 Breakdown]
\n[Percussion, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]<\/p>\n
Who gave the command
\n(To bury the sand)
\nHide the shame
\n(And change the name)<\/p>\n
Collateral damage
\n(That’s what they say)<\/p>\n
[Instrumental]
\n[Guitar Solo \u2013 slow, mournful bends]
\n[Organ Stabs, Driving Bass, Snare March]<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nNewsprint stains the evening air
\n(Statistics on a page)
\nBut numbers never show the face
\n(Or measure up the rage)<\/p>\n
Someone’s daughter
\n(Someone’s friend)
\nSomeone’s story
\n(At the end)<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nHear the collateral cry
\n(Rising to the sky)
\nNo reason why
\n(No alibi)<\/p>\n
Hear the collateral cry
\n(Another lullaby)
\nHistory sighs
\n(While innocence dies)<\/p>\n
[Instrumental \u2013 Extended Jam]
\n[Saxophone Solo \u2014 lamenting, bluesy]
\n[Synth Pad \u2014 dark, atmospheric]
\n[Driving Bass, Snare March]<\/p>\n
[Bridge \u2013 Spoken Breakdown]
\n[Percussion, Sub Bass]<\/p>\n
Tell me now
\n(What was won)
\nWhen the smoke
\n(Hides the sun)<\/p>\n
Freedom falling
\n(From the sky)<\/p>\n
[Final Chorus]
\nHear the collateral cry
\n(Rising to the sky)
\nNo reason why
\n(No alibi)<\/p>\n
Hear the collateral cry
\n(Another lullaby)
\nHistory sighs
\n(While innocence dies)<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\n[Organ Fade, Soft Piano Notes]<\/p>\n
Did you hear that cry\u2026
\n(From the other side of the sky)<\/p>\n
Whatever happened to freedom?
\n(We still ask why)<\/p>\n
[Instrumental Fade]<\/p>\n
