Oh The Humanity (A Prologue To Tragedy)

As the shots rang out on the motorcade

We felt nothing at all

We said it happens

Yeah it happens all the time

With a dealer’s hand we gently build our house of cards

As kings and queens are dining in your yards

We tied this up

With a bow

The science of rock and roll

To bleed a dream with a stolen chance

The art of life is a fleeting glance

We close our eyes

The air is cold I breathe tonight

The frosted lends

It dims our eyes

With our clenched teeth we numbly bite

And gently crack our pearly whites

With vengeance we could light the flame

But instead we choose to proudly look away

With tear-filled eyes and aching arms

He stares at his useless hands

We dropped the ball

We lost it on our own

As the torrents fell on the sleeping town

We felt nothing at all
