Too Much Blood
Too much blood running in this place,
The bitter tears just seem to sting our face.
Innocent lives are being snuffed out everywhere.
And as we mourn, we are crippled with fear.
When will the senseless killing come to an end?
We have lost a mother, a father, a brother, a friend.
And as we mourn we sigh for our nation,
For every one of us must face this situation.
None of us are safe anywhere or at any time,
And it seems as if our lives are not even worth a dime.
How can you be so silent while our innocent blood run?
We continue to live with hope that justice will finally come.
What you sow, in time you will surely reap,
Then the tables will turn as you begin to weep.
No mercy for the merciless that held us at ransom for so long,
We will smile to ourselves as you pay for every wrong.
We will sing and dance as you are led to gallows,
As your demise will be the end to all our sorrows.
We are tired of living in fear of what you will do,
It is time for us to be free of the pain that you have put us through,
And the innocent will be free at last as you face your final call,
And then with one voice we will echo we have survived it all.
