No Remedy
It’s a tragic time
When hearts do bleed
When a young man lies dying
By another’s hand
We storm highest heavens
Cries of lingered pain
Wave of tears descending
And solidarity yearns
Gone too soon
Too soon to die
There’s no good reason ever-ever
What wasted lives
And it’s no remedy
To this senseless game
See no one's winning
And the piper plays on
But it’s no remedy
No remedy
It’s no remedy today
Silent detestation
Follows the pain
Vicious circle appalling and hinders
There’s no finding peace
To change the pathway
Let the young ones see
No hatred will heal them
When sanity’s lost
Gone too soon
Too soon to die
There’s no good reason ever
What wasted lives
