Holding This Rage

As the glow from the ashes

Lit the faces of the people passing by

They saw the victims die (they saw the victims die)

When the news hit the papers

They said nineteen bodies had been blown away

Somebody's going to pay (somebody's going to pay)

Dangerous days are these to be living

Dangerous days there's little forgiving

No, it just ain't in our blood

But holding this rage

Isn't your answer boy

Holding this rage won't lead you on

Holding this rage will tear you to pieces boy

Look what it's done - Look what it's done

Father John said the last words

Then he mumbled to himself with deep regret

"This isn't over yet..." (this isn't over yet)

Down the long line of mourners

See another young boy choke on bitter tears

Scars that won't disappear (scars that won't disappear)

Dangerous days are these to be living

Dangerous days - There's little forgiving

No, it just ain't in our blood

But holding this rage

Isn't your answer boy

Holding this rage won't lead you on

Holding this rage will tear you to pieces boy

Look what it's done

Holding this rage hasn't been easy boy

Holding this rage set them all wrong

Holding this rage just tore them to pieces boy

Look what it's done

Look what it's done...

Look what it's done...

It set off their bombs

It loaded their guns

It ate through their hearts

It buried their sons

It's all they have left

It's all they have known

It left them destroyed...

Holding this rage...

Just look what it's done

Holding this rage

Isn't your answer boy

Holding this rage won't lead you on

Holding this rage will tear you to pieces boy

Look what it's done

Holding this rage hasn't been easy boy

Holding this rage set them all wrong

Holding this rage just tore them to pieces boy

Look what it's done

Just look what it's done

Look what it's done

Look what it's done
