Masacre In Va

He took the lives of many innocent people
He did not care that they were young
And then he shot himself
He pulled the trigger
He took his own life and no one cares why.

All they think about is how to bring back their children
They had so much hope in them, you know
So many nice and talented people 
Are gone forever 
And their death has no reason.

He took the father away from his children
They didn't even have a chance to tell him good-bye
He made a loving and caring wife...
A WIDOW
And now she will cry for the rest of her life.

And even her happy moments will have sorrow
'Cause sorrow she has deep in her eyes
What made this young killer believe 
That this was the key to solve his problems
And that to do that he had such a right?

I beg you all, please have mercy
Don't kill, don't stab, don't shoot
Don't make anyone cry
'Cause taking a life is the biggest,
The worst of the worst - is commiting a crime!
