I'll never understand how they live with themselves. They condemn death only when it suits them. They judge those who speak their minds While embracing a nation of child-killers. I'll never understand how they live with themselves. Sleep must be hard to come by when you Endorse the murders of millions of children With no more thought than a gardener pruning a pesky **** I'll never understand how they live with themselves. They extinguish the fragile flames of would-be daughters and sons And explain that this heinous crime is Not only acceptable, but essential. I'll never understand how they live with themselves. It must be nearly impossible to stand up straight When the burden of innocent lives swings from your shoulders. Death is so heavy, even if the souls are small.

In Rememberance of Morality
I'll never understand how they live with themselves. They condemn death only when it suits them. They judge those who speak their minds While embracing a nation of child-killers. I'll never understand how they live with themselves. Sleep must be hard to come by when you Endorse the murders of millions of children With no more thought than a gardener pruning a pesky **** I'll never understand how they live with themselves. They extinguish the fragile flames of would-be daughters and sons And explain that this heinous crime is Not only acceptable, but essential. I'll never understand how they live with themselves. It must be nearly impossible to stand up straight When the burden of innocent lives swings from your shoulders. Death is so heavy, even if the souls are small.
An elegy for unborn babies. An elegy for morality.
