Holding This Rage - Lyrics by Gowan


Lyrics
(
Lawrence Gowan)
As the glow from the ashes
Lit the faces of the people passing by
They saw the victims die (they saw the victims die)
When the news hit the papers
They said nineteen bodies had been blown away
Somebody's going to pay (somebody's going to pay)
Dangerous days are these to be living
Dangerous days there's little forgiving
No, it just ain't in our blood
But holding this rage
Isn't your answer boy
Holding this rage won't lead you on
Holding this rage will tear you to pieces boy
Look what it's done - Look what it's done
Father John said the last words
Then he mumbled to himself with deep regret"
This isn't over yet..." (this isn't over yet)
Down the long line of mourners
See another young boy choke on bitter tears
Scars that won't disappear (scars that won't disappear)
Dangerous days are these to be living
Dangerous days - There's little forgiving
No, it just ain't in our blood
But holding this rage
Isn't your answer boy
Holding this rage won't lead you on
Holding this rage will tear you to pieces boy
Look what it's done
Holding this rage hasn't been easy boy
Holding this rage set them all wrong
Holding this rage just tore them to pieces boy
Look what it's done
Look what it's done...
Look what it's done...
It set off their bombs
It loaded their guns
It ate through their hearts
It buried their sons
It's all they have left
It's all they have known
It left them destroyed...
Holding this rage...
Just look what it's done
Holding this rage
Isn't your answer boy
Holding this rage won't lead you on
Holding this rage will tear you to pieces boy
Look what it's done
Holding this rage hasn't been easy boy
Holding this rage set them all wrong
Holding this rage just tore them to pieces boy
Look what it's done
Just look what it's done
Look what it's done
Look what it's done
