Shallow Graves

Another scream of pain ignored,
A day of torture endured,
A brittle skull smashed to dust.
Hundreds more innocent souls lost,
They laugh at the pain that they've caused.
How dare you call this life just?

A fresh stream of tears
Down a war-scarred frontier,
The bloodshed never stops.
A plea for help pushed aside.
As another one dies,
They only see money lost.

This world in which we live
Can be twisted and sick
And I struggle to find good things.
But God bless the brave souls
Who try to take control.
Those are the angels without wings.

Bodies in shallow graves--
They cannot be saved
But it's not too late for the rest
Because the angels out there
Know that life isn't fair
But to bring justice, they do their best.
