Both Sides Pray

[Verse]
I hear the cries from the valley low
A thousand voices
A single glow
Both hands lifted
Reaching the same sky
One calls for mercy
One calls to strike
[Chorus]
Both sides pray
Both sides plead
Both claim love
Both plant the seed
But I am the silence
The breath between
Not your sword
Not your shield unseen
[Verse 2]
They carve my name on their banners of war
But I am the whisper
Not the roar
In the clash of steel
I don’t reside
I am the tear that falls from both sides
[Prechorus]
Who holds the truth
Who holds the flame
I see no victors in this game
[Chorus]
Both sides pray
Both sides plead
Both claim love
Both plant the seed
But I am the silence
The breath between
Not your sword
Not your shield unseen
[Bridge]
If you knew my heart
You’d lay it down
Your rage is a storm where love might drown
The earth you shatter is earth you’ll need
The blood you spill is your own
Indeed
