You May Wonder Why We Are Here

You may wonder why we are here?
Yes, you may wonder why?

You may wonder how it is we appear?
Without warning or invite?

You may ask questions of yourself?
The reasons, the whys?

You may wonder why we are here?
And why we chose tonight?

Alice was her name
Little Alice with blue eyes

You destroyed everything in her life
In the blink of an eye

Under the pale moon of a winters night
One year ago tonight!

You killed her parents that night
When you drank and you drive

You thought you'd escaped their justice
By telling all those lies?

Alice asked for the dark of the night
To bring justice for their lives

Do you still wonder why we are here?
Do you still wonder why?
