Ariana Grande’s in Manchester, she performs upon the stage
Her music and singing appeals to fans of such a tender age
Young fans sing along to the songs that they all know
And when the concert’s finally over it's time for them to go
But as they file out of the venue a terrorist’s bomb explodes
It’s chaotic, there’s hysteria as their world suddenly implodes
Medic’s rush to help the dying; and the injured they console
The scene is an apocalypse, which has spiraled out of control
A perpetual cacophony of sounds with people screaming and crying
You don’t expect to attend a concert and end up with people dying
There’s a kaleidoscope of colour from the emergency floodlight
A hollow victory for terrorism on this unforgettable May night
