Cryin' Heart
Anthem & Graham Bonnet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This broken world, a world we destroyed
Domestication for our warriors
Dry are their eyes, living with lies
What're they fighting for?

Flowing with power... corrupted force
Only more proof of their blindness
Burned out and tired of killing for gain
Oh! let them die!

But only one way
To know the truth
Feel it now
So stand up and fight
For the days that are already gone
Still my heart is crying, oh

Subtle the beat, here in my heart
Forsaken, forgotten warriors
Get back to promises that you forgot, ancient warriors

But only one way
To know the truth
Feel it now
So stand up and fight
For the days that are already gone
Still my heart is crying, oh

But only one way
To know the truth
Feel it now
So stand up and fight
For the days that are already gone

Only one way
To know the truth
Even now
So stand up and fight
Keep the wildness you've hidden away
Still my heart is crying, oh





Oh! still my heart is crying, oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Cryin' Heart" by Anthem & Graham Bonnet explore the pain and sense of loss that arise from living in a broken world that has been destroyed by human beings. The first verse highlights the fact that we have domesticated our warriors, who now fight without conviction and are unable to see the truth. They are living with lies, and we are left wondering what they are fighting for. The second verse talks about forgotten warriors, who were once strong and brave, but have now been forsaken and forgotten. The lyrics urge them to get back to their promises and embrace their wildness once again.


The singer laments the destruction of a world that was once beautiful and whole. The chorus encourages people to stand up and fight for the days that are already gone, to feel the truth in their hearts and keep the wildness they have hidden away. The repetition of "but only one way to know the truth, feel it now" emphasizes the importance of being present and engaged in the world around us, rather than numbing ourselves to the pain of our actions.


The lyrics are a powerful commentary on the damage we have done to our world and ourselves. They highlight the need for people to embrace their wildness and fight for a better future. The song is a call to action, urging listeners to feel the truth in their hearts and take steps towards healing and restoration.

Really great offering from Mr Bonnet! This supercedes his current work "The Book" or even Blackthorne. A must have for any fan of this legendary Rock Superstar. Listen for yourself.

@michaelolz

If I was a guitarist I would hunt down and pay any amount of money to Graham to get him to sing one song with my band.

@rockrabbitt

This is a little bit strange with that guitar solo as it sounds like there were 2 guitars taking solos by turns.Why?
