Crow

It all started with the fall of our great towers We lost our own citizens to a small group of cowards For those people that died, we honored them with our flowers We sent troops over to fight in foreign land To find out who ordered the command, that brought our country so much sorrow And the fear of what would come tomorrow Our loved ones have been fighting for months on end Fighting the enemy who brought us to defend, our nation who fear’s and cries because of them Why has it come to this? Years of conflict and days of pain Our soldiers are still fighting, but in who’s name? This conflict has had nothing to show except for our dead Who lay to rest in eternity’s bed Forever lost with nothing we can do We look at our leader and say “It’s all because of you” Are feeling have brought us to hate our own kind We as a nation can not see past our own bind Throughout all this agony and pain, Our troops still fight from morning to night They fight for what they know Will eventually lead them to the sought after crow The crow of disaster, the crow of pain The evil man that brought us this shame
