From the recording Finally
From the album Finally with an older project - The Diction. This song is about blood diamonds and the dichotomy between the beauty of the product and the ugliness of the trade.
Lyrics
(Verse 1)
The products that we scrutinize
For beauty that's divine
Is found in mud by hands of those
Who fear for their lives
They look upon them not in awe
But with despair
He cries into the studded wound
Of what was once there
(Pre-Chorus)
Can you sense their desperation
As you slip it on?
(Chorus)
A diamond is forever
An incandescent treasure
Look inside you'll realize what's forever
Is not what lies in your hand
But their torture
(Verse 2)
Torn from home and thrown into
A world of hate and terror
To run would mean to lose it all
Forever
Don't deny it
Or try to hide from it
It's not fair to disregard
Them all
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
