Monsters

Monsters in the
Schoolyard
No one left
Unscathed

Across the halls
The terror calls
A wicked
Trail of hate

Innocence
Was shattered
Blood and beauty
Everywhere

Reckless laws
That took their lives
Now we don't want
Your Prayers

We will not fall
We'll stay the course
We didn't fail
So we have no
Remorse

We don't have to live this way
They don't have to die this way
Look at what we've done
They were all so young

We don't have to fight this way
They don't have to die this way
Now they are the warriors
They've already won

Monsters in the
The moonlight
Take the weapons
From their hands

The web is spun
We've just begun
We're not
Bargaining

Bones will break
And blood will flow
A nation
In despair

The leader strikes
Another blow
Now we don't want
Your Prayers

We've walked away
From your control
You've bled our faith
Now we're not letting
Go

The strands have come untethered
You've slowly come undone
There's no one left
For you to try and blame

I don't think you thought this through
The way that it would land
It's not that far for you to fall
From when you first began
