So Will You Come With Me
Can you hear the drumbeats
Gathering a sound
mixing blood and sand
Stolen form the ground
Broken men
Marching to the sea
eyes are empty
because there is nothing left to see
Mothers weep for mercy
for their boys to return home
To dance among the city lights
the only place they call their own
Vacant buildings
surrounded by trash
Children smash broken bottles
As brittle as yesterdays dreams
Praying for God's only wrath
So will you come with me
