lyrics

Staring back at me

What is this I see, three men in orange gowns on bended knee,
Holding up a mirror to the World, and staring back at me.

I see in their eyes, a courage I have never realised,
No one deserves, such, an indignity.

I see their bravery, I worry for their family,
I know their images and thoughts, don’t belong to me.

What did we do wrong,
What new age do we fall upon,
What kind of medieval Worlds, do we now belong.
What kind of medieval Worlds, will we now bring on.

Three loving mother’s sons, three families we must now gather round,
And protect their lives and their privacy.


Two sides of the coin, one to kill and one to poison,
Poison travels down the wires of the bonded free.

What did we do wrong,
What new age do we fall upon,
What kind of medieval Worlds, do we now belong.
What kind of medieval Worlds, will we now bring on.

My prayer is to their loves, who lost their friends, which broke their hearts,
There lives must not be defined, by this obscenity.

What did we do wrong,
What new age do we fall upon,
What kind of medieval Worlds, do we now belong.
What kind of medieval Worlds, will we now bring on.

What is this I see, three men in orange gowns on bended knee,
Holding up a mirror to the World, by staring back at me.

By staring back at me, by staring back at me.
