Crashing to the streets a moments fury casting shadows on our hearts as they both fell the bitter taste of terror shaking strong men the crippling deeds of cowards bring forth hell. Young men called upon to do their duties children cower helpless, in the womb A nation torn with anger, torn with grieving vengeance coming swiftly calling loved ones forth to doom. So fight the good fight, do your civic duty, buy Christmas gifts, and turkeys all the while remember those who hate us and sleep lightly those who teach their children bitter lies. Give blessing to the ones that live with hatred compassion for each loved one left behind no victor without bloodshed, no good reason remember those who lose thier lives and hear their cries. And please God don't condemn the children share your love and give them tenderness deliver our world from all this needless hatred in your great name I pray this, God, amen.
