Gunshots are Forever

Thump

Whack

Bump

Hear the sounds of the train that stops.

It stops, it stops,

and I must run

On the run

Having fun?

My life had just begun

Seventeen and I am shunned

The world’s gone so mad they’re shooting nuns.

Can’t stay here, can’t stay here

Can’t even pray here.

Thump

Whack

Bump

Another train,

even more pain,

chasing the stars is only fun when the meteors don’t have a gun.

A gun, a gun,

Save the girl from the gun

Too scared to walk, too young to run

Shady steps on shady paths,

Have to go

Go

GO

FAST!

BANG

CRACK
POW

It’s all over now.

Any fears I had,

any doubts and plans

Blown out,

candle in the wind.

A rebel I am

a soldier I’ll be

Taking back liberty,

Dying a slave,

Dreaming to be free.
