look at faces bruised and beaten
the life you took will leave you empty
the unwanted blood it trickles down

your eyes can't see the peace you've destroyed
this life denied unseen homicide
as you took this gift from God's hands

don't take it away
souls of children
stare at you in mirrored anguish

asking why
murder - no love found
murder - without a sound

murder - in the ground
murder - God's mercy still abounds
