Lyrics
Killing them with kindness
Ending all the violence
Who could be the wisest?
Anyone of them
Turned into a prophet
Sacrificed for logic
Substitute the caustic
And fill it in with Zen
Lights will shine
Stopping all but time
Delaying all but rhyme
And guns begin falling
Before they reach the ground stalling
Magically floating
And turned into dust
All that?s left is all of us
Holding on to the pulse
Of the heart we forgot to mend
Now you understand
Speak to them with silence
Seeing them with blindness
Who could be the best?
Everyone I guess
Lights will shine
Stopping all but time
Delaying all but rhyme
And guns begin falling
Before they reach the ground softly stalling
Magically floating
And turned into dust
All that?s left is all of us
Holding on to the pulse
Of the heart we forgot to mend
Now you understand
