I saw him at the gates, Wondered why he would forsake, Time slows down and I'm running, Running for my life. He's climbing over, Gun in hand. God, oh why God have you forsaken us? Bang Bang, down goes my friends, Bang Bang, down goes the educators, Bang Bang, down at my feet. Is this where my life ends? I'm just only seventeen, Where will I go when I die? He's coming for us all, Ak-47 in his hands. God, oh why God have you forsaken us? Bang Bang, down goes my friends, Bang Bang, down goes the educators, Bang Bang, down at my feet. He's at the door. Am I no more? I can't see my own two hands. Tears on my face. . . . God?

Ak-47
I saw him at the gates, Wondered why he would forsake, Time slows down and I'm running, Running for my life. He's climbing over, Gun in hand. God, oh why God have you forsaken us? Bang Bang, down goes my friends, Bang Bang, down goes the educators, Bang Bang, down at my feet. Is this where my life ends? I'm just only seventeen, Where will I go when I die? He's coming for us all, Ak-47 in his hands. God, oh why God have you forsaken us? Bang Bang, down goes my friends, Bang Bang, down goes the educators, Bang Bang, down at my feet. He's at the door. Am I no more? I can't see my own two hands. Tears on my face. . . . God?
I think it's pretty clear what this is trying to portray. As someone who is a year younger than the character, I can tell you that this is a huge fear when I walk to school everyday. I could die. It's a fact...but...what I'm scared of is the gun. not the man.
