A calamity changes the country

And it appalls the people of the land

It is too bad that the media sees

It is too far gone now to make a stand

Toss in the blood of a thousand souls

And then the ineffectual lawyers

To decay in, burn on the devil’s coals

After this there is nothing to stand for

The silence of the lambs, is caused by fears

The tears of the departed’s family

Bells ringing silent through the hollow years

Now, as a people, we must again try

Feel pity for the predators’ childhood

If only psyches could be understood
