100 Guns

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 4 months ago 2 min read

[Verse]

A hundred guns for every hand

Spreading death across our land

Loud as thunder, Soft as breath

An obsession with violence..

An obsession with death

[Chorus]

So, tell me again just how we’re free

When the air is thick with smoke and debris

And the chamber echoes louder than our children's screams

Through this obsession with death we can't seem to defeat

So, tell me again just how we’re free

[Verse 2]

Magazines spill and clatter to the ground

Trigger fingers twitch bringing people down

The barrel points at nothing left

But an obsession with violence

An obsession with death

[Bridge]

There are no answers when the goal is death

There's no solace in the blood that's shed

There's no hope in a final breath

There are just unfulfilled promises we try to forget

[Chorus]

So, tell me again just how we’re free

When the air is thick with smoke and debris

And the chamber echoes louder than our children's screams

Through this obsession with death we can't seem to defeat

So, tell me again just how we’re free

[Outro]

A hundred guns for every hand

Spreading death across this land

No light ... No life

Just a final hollow breath

An obsession with violence...

An obsession with death

[Chorus]

So, tell me again just how we’re free

When the air is thick with smoke and debris

And the chamber echoes louder than our children's screams

Through this obsession with death we can't seem to defeat

So, tell me again just how we’re free
