How Many Tears Lyrics by Helloween

Walls of Jericho (Expanded Edition)

1985

[Verse 1]
A lot of things occur each day
We've got to live with on our way
There's so much misery on the screen
With commercials in between
And the Russians won't be so late
Uncle Sam don't wanna wait
No matter if you're black or white
You never ever had a right

[Bridge]
And look up to the eternal skies
See warfare even there
What once has been a paradise
Now destruction and despair

[Verse 2]
In other worlds, the children die
Lacking food, ill from a fly
Oppressed by troops to tame their land
It's all the same again
If any man is free on earth
Then tormentors steal his birth
They slam gun butts in his face
And leave his woman choked in mace

[Pre-Chorus]
So, stand up for our human rights
Push back this pest of hate
Raise your voice, pass on the light
Unite! It's not too late

[Chorus]
How many tears flow away
To become a sea of fears?
How many hearts are torn apart
Till another torment starts?

[Post-Chorus]
But before the world
Turns into a sun
All cruelty and violence
On earth will be dead and gone
But before the world
Turns into a sun
All cruelty and violence
On earth will be dead and gone

[Solo: Both / Both / Michael / Both]

[Pre-Chorus]
So, stand up for our human rights
Push back this pest of hate
Raise your voice, pass on the light
Unite! It's not too late

[Chorus]
How many tears flow away
To become a sea of fears?
How many hearts are torn apart
Till another torment starts?

[Post-Chorus]
But before the world
Turns into a sun
All cruelty and violence
On earth will be dead and gone
But before the world
Turns into a sun
All cruelty and violence
On earth will be dead and gone
