The Sun Rise

The sun went to rest beyond the hills and out came moon to enhance his skills Holding his baby tight in his hands stareing down others that enter their land why did the sun leave and go yonder where it's unloved I stand and ponder I can barely see the other side but this man dosen't run and hide our fears some how make us stand strong even though I know it shall lead to wrong shadows approach and soon take face not many could see how his heart raced but I was so close I could have touched his eyes were scared he shook so much could his only love end every foe he stood alone and this I do know he was ready to go, ready to die His fate was sealed before he was born possesing the face of the truly scorn I closed my eyes and then it happend in one blink a session of cappin I stood where I'd been to see it all he was still standing, I knew he'd fall blood flowed and it formed to my feet a touch from a man fell by the heat on the other side how many were dead were their streets painted in the color red When the sun rose it was red as warning that the night had brought reason for mourning every bullet fired did damage nine men fired nine ended in madness
