Holding This Rage

(Lawrence Gowan) 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
