Lay Down Your Anger

Intro

Look at all the dead piling up

Look at the destruction we caused

Verse 1

We built these walls so tall

Brick by bitter brick we stacked them high

I hear your voice like thunder

But the words have lost their fire

You say I never listen

I say you never hear

Two hearts turned to stone

Standing face to face in fear

Pre-Chorus

How long do we bleed for pride

Watching everything we love go cold inside

Chorus

Put down your sword my darling

Lay your anger at my feet

We have screamed for far too long

When all we wanted was the peace

Let the silence be our refuge

Let the wounds begin to mend

Life is short but we keep fighting

Over nothing in the end

Post-Chorus

Peace peace

Give me peace

Peace peace

Let it be

Verse 2

I count the years like scars

Every argument a scar we bore

We scream about the victories

But forget what we were for

The children watch us tremble

They learn the war by heart

What legacy do we hand down

Before we fall apart

Pre-Chorus

Don't we owe them something soft

Something kinder than the ground we cross

Chorus

Put down your sword my darling

Lay your anger at my feet

We have screamed for far too long

When all we wanted was the peace

Let the silence be our refuge

Let the wounds begin to mend

Life is short but we keep fighting

Over nothing in the end

Post-Chorus

Peace peace

Give me peace

Peace peace

Let it be

Bridge

We can't poison the ground with tears

Cannot water grief into the years

Who inherits this torn earth

Only what we leave is worth

So breathe with me

Breathe with me

Let the anger finally

Set us free

Guitar solo

Chorus

Put down your sword my darling

Lay your anger at my feet

We have screamed for far too long

When all we wanted was the peace

Let the silence be our refuge

Let the wounds begin to mend

Life is short but we
