THE DAY WAS BRIGHT
IN THAT FLORIDA TOWN
SUCH A HORRIBLE CRIME
WENT DOWN
SEVENTEEN WONDERFUL SOULS
WOULD GIVE UP THEIR LIVES
ALL BECAUSE A TROUBLED MAN
DECIDED TO FOLLOW THROUGH
HEARING VOICES IN HIS HEAD
TELLING HIM TO TAKE THEM OUT
A NATION WEEPS
THE PEOPLE ARE GONE
NEVER TO RETURN
HEARTS ARE SHATTERED
A NATION WEEPS
WHEN WILL ALL THE CHAOS END
WHAT CAN THE PEOPLE DO
MOURN THE DEAD AND MOVE ON
ATTEMPT TO MAKE THINGS BETTER
FOR OUR YOUTH IN THE YEARS AHEAD
IT MUST BE DONE
WE OWE IT TO THEM ALL
A NATION WEEPS
THEN TAKES UP THE CALL

1980 something. we all hung out at Pearl and you and i were nothing special, or so i thought. i mean we all danced, drenched in our own sweat, our own saline solution of fear, too many beers, shots, laughter, tears, fucks in the bathroom and i don't know when we began to be afraid. do you?
