Truth In a Lie

On a cold winters day
A little girl sang
Sang her fathers song
He had been charged with treason
A despicable crime
Yet o i wonder why
Why the girl didnt even cry
All she did was sing
Her fathers little tune
A little tune made
To prove one truth true
"The soliders sing
As the vultures do
The free men scream
With the watching birds coo
The children cry out
The women plead and shout
The soilders sing the vultures song
While the demons sit it out"
So as the little girl sang
A gun barrel in her mouth
Her fathers truth was born
In her mothers last shout
Every night we cry
For the life we must lead
Yet why do we also bleed?
When all we do is watch our dreams die
In our very last scream
