Lord you know I've cried…
…a thousand tears tonight
But nothing seems to quench the thirst you keep on craving

But now I need an answer to my prayers and you're not there…
…so why think you listen
(listen!)

(has no one told you!)
Your cries are all in vain
And everyone keeps on trying to take that all away
(has no one told you)
Your cries are all in vain
Your cries!

Lord I can't disguise…
…the look inside my eyes
The more I try to look away the more I'm staring

But now I need an answer to my prayers and you're not there
So why think you listen
(listen!)

(has no one told you)
Your cries are all in vain
And everyone keeps on trying to take that all away
(has no one told you)
Your cries are all in vain
Your cries!

Your cries in vain
Your cries in vain
Your cries in vain
Your cries in vain
(I look away!) *echoed*
(has no one told you)
Your cries are all in vain
And everyone keeps on trying to take that all away
(has no one told you)
Your cries are all in vain
(your cries!)

Has nobody told you when you look a… (way…)
The stories they told you still run through your v… (eins…)
Has nobody told you when you look a… (way…)
The stories they told you still run through your…
(run through your veins!)
