Making Sense

Help me to understand
This wrath that fuels your rage
Choosing who lives, who dies
This bullet of your hate

Please tell me your reasons
While in the house of God
Delivered your evil
This penance for your cause

Lead the lamb to slaughter
We wear our skin like breath
Neath this outer wrapper
Our blood is crimson red

I pray for the fallen
Desperately I plea
Keep this hate from spilling
This killing needlessly

Together raise our voice
Rise up, unite as one
Let not the hatred win
This battle of the gun
