A song about the earthquake victims in China

Story behind the song
A beautiful lyric written by Kay Wong, vocals by Jessica Rasche.
I was lucky to be allowed to write and produce the music which is aimed to produce a mystery atmosphere.
Lyrics
Bleeding Hearts
(China's Earthquake - May 12th)
(V1)
Behind death’s door wrapped in a shroud
Parents mourn amongst the crowd
Thousands homeless and pouring rain
A life too young washed down the drain
Trapped in the rubble with no way out
An only child, a mother’s shout
(Chorus)
There’s no way I can turn back time
To prepare you for nature’s crime
I watch as lives are shaken apart
I feel your bleeding hearts
(V2)
Death smiles with its golden key
Taking lives lost in the debris
Wrapped in sheets, undignified
Loved ones search but more will die
To ward off evil that knocks at the door
Firecrackers rise, protecting souls
(Chorus)
There’s no way I can turn back time
To prepare you for nature’s crime
I watch as lives are shaken apart
I feel your bleeding hearts
(Bridge)
There'll be no smile or laughter tonight
Families torn apart without a fight
A country in tears
What is the cost
So many lives
So much loss
(Chorus)
There’s no way I can turn back time
To prepare you for nature’s crime
I watch as lives are shaken apart
I feel your bleeding hearts
V3 = instrumental
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
