   Donnie and Wayne Celebrate the Massacre of the Holy Innocents

While Donny dances for Wayne, dances upon the dead
Celebrating
The latest Massacre of the Holy Innocents

We sit and try to write away the pain
And can’t
We try to shape this chaos into words
And can’t

We are determined to protect the children
And will
We will repudiate the worship of death
We will

While Donny dances for Wayne, dances upon the dead
Celebrating
The latest Massacre of the Holy Innocents
