(Excuse how crap this is, I'm trying to practise)
Children waiting with guns at their side
That they've never used in their life
One day they'll take the sight in their pride
And fire the gun instead of the knife
All the grown ups are laughing and joking
That the little ones have found it so tough
Their faces in blood will one day be soaking
When the bullets are fired when they've had enough
The night will be lit up by the war that occurs
Between the souls of the children that are lit by a spark
With little to lose they'll give up on their fears
And find nothing is waiting for them but the dark
When every heartbeat is painful to feel
When every song echoes throughout their mind
The feeling of wisdom is completely unreal
To think that there's nothing left here to find
No figure to look to and the only people around
Are those that are blind to the feeling inside
Every emotion is lifted by the calling of sound
And there will never be a place for them to hide
Rise up, oh children, find strength in the noise
Become who you need to gain breadth in the land
Take sword in your hand and abandon the toys
Give up on your shoes and walk in the sand
The adults will snigger in their wisdom and wit
But you will march wider with your struggle inside
Be gone with the demons and force them to quit
But beware of the angels that won't tell you they lied
But if you ever feel the gun back at your head
The bullets inside will not just be pain
You're not as complete as you've believed to be led
And only delusions of life will remain
Do not extend into the dark my friend
Do not release if you cannot cease
The calling of you to reach your end
Must only be found by you in peace
And if you reach the withered height
Of knowing that you shall prefer
Eternal sleep without a fight
Then with angels you must confer
When you find they don't speak back
You must decide right there and then
Will you slip into the black
Or still decide to use the pen?
Find every word that you would write
In your own note of suicide
Tell everyone in your new light
What you have got left to hide
And when you've nothing left to lose
Then you should start again
It's only time that you've to choose
The question now is when
