Not in My Name ... aka, Double Tap

 

Breaking news
.
war is not new
for two thousand years
the same lies have been used
the weapons all shine
but death hides the light
as darkness closes our eyes
double tap
.
A world in flames
as school girls are slain
people just trying to survive
crying for help
just to keep us alive
we close our eyes to pray
double tap
.
Genocide
pick a side
I've got you little one
and won't let go

when I take your pain
think of playing in the rain
close you eyes and sleep
double tap
.
Caesar lied
a great empire dies
God hides in shame
"not in my name"
taking an eye for an eye
until the whole world's blind
parents weep
as a child's blood seeps
into the ruins of humanity
