Blood Stained Happiness
You stare at the world
Unable to breath
What's going on
About what you see
Blood drips down
Upon the streets
Death takes over
All we need
People are blind
They do not know
The pain they cause
To there own
It's blood stained happiness
It's death shadowing ignorance
It's a murderer gone free
Somewhere we lost the key
We tried to hunt it down
But war is all we found
Lives are taken
Away from us
Don't know about you
But I had enough
Screams in the street
You're killing us all
You don't understand
You're killing us all
It's pushing us further
Into the abyss
We tried so hard
But somewhere we missed
It's blood stained happiness
It's death shadowing ignorance
It's a murderer gone free
Somewhere we lost the key
We tried to hunt it down
But war is all we found
People are blind
They do not know
The pain they cause
To their own
I stand here now
Ready to fight
For the thing we lost
I'll find the light
No matter what
I will win
I'll try to erase
All of our sins
It's blood stained happiness
It's death shadowing ignorance
It's a murderer gone free
Somewhere we lost the key
I have hunted it down
No more war for now
