We were shaken
When five lives were taken
But one is not mistaken
When they cheer
For the one that took them from here
They say they support the military
But when an unarmed veteran
Takes care of their man
Nothing but silence
Because they love the violence of hate
They wish they could use the state
To destroy the world
Bleeding billions
They don’t realize
They are the villains
They think they are Daniel in the den
But they are not
They are the plebeian legion
Leading the people to their cross
They say they care
Yet, are the lions tearing us apart in the colosseum
They preach love
While enacting their hate
There is no fate
Just random acts of pain
That stain our mind
But now it’s time to grieve
Later we can unwind
