through the night

BOOM BOOM BOOM through the night

the fire is shown way to bright

 

another has lost their life

but why?

why with a knife

 

he has payed the price for the color of his skin

but that my friend is not his sin!

 

i know one will fight for our righhts but when?

when?

 

they see we want to be free but instead they sell us for a fee!

a fee you see

 

we are left in this fear sea when ever they come near

as we breath in the cold dead air!

 

some are being pulled to their death chair!

this isn't fair!

 

all just because of the color of thier skin

and agin i say that is NOT their sin!

 

we know one will fight for our rights but when

when?

 

and until then...

 

BOOM BOOM BOOM is all you will hear through the Dead Dark Night
