Breaking Hearts On Valentine's Day

Red roses all around 
The red stains on the ground 
He came to break hearts
On Valentine's Day
Bright hearts full of ambition 
Broken by rapid ammunition 
He came to break hearts 
On Valentine's Day
He came to break hearts
On Valentine's Day
In this fall before spring's bloom
Death's rise did plume
And hearts were broken 
On Valentine's Day
To love's lost vision 
Execrated by incision 
He came to break hearts 
On Valentine's Day
It is with great anger
That I lay my anchor 
In this sea of tears 
And as I sit silent 
Upon the calm of carnage
I look to the dome on the ridge 
And with death's plume, at my sail
I shall land with force, no fail
In that dome's rotunda 
Carrying the rage of a nation
Carrying the rage of a nation
