London Bridge Is Falling

My shadow drowned in that river
My souls to cold to shiver
Should of held your hand when I had the chance

But now all I do is wonder
Lightning tends to proceed thunder
Should of held your hand when I had the chance

Now I know there is a never
Your legs used to go on forever 
Should of held your hand when I had the chance

I have to close my eyes to see you
In this life there is no redo
Should of held your hand when I had the chance

Somewhere out there your spirit soars
Sometimes I cry behind closed doors
Should of held your hand when I had the chance

Extremist bent on carnage
You were walking across that bridge
Should of held your hand when I had the chance

Terrorists will do whatever
Brainwashed they don't know no better
Should of held your hand when I had the chance

Poisoned words in a hallowed head
Allah don't want no one dead 
Should of held your hand when I had the chance

Sixty virgins will not quell
The burns they will receive in hell
Should of held her hand when I had the chance

Death by an ideology
Evil knows not boundaries
Should of held her hand when I had the chance

My shadow drowned in that river
My souls to cold to shiver
Should of held your hand when I had the chance
