Death Of Democracy - How Many Lyrics

How many lives must be taken 'fore we see the light?
How many mothers' cries cut through the night?
How many children stolen from our sight?
Just what price are we willing to pay?

Oh, how many questions must we ask?
How many bullets for a single task?
How many guns in every hand?
How many freedoms are in this land?

How many times must a classroom bleed?
How many young dreams snuffed out, indeed?
How many whispers in the shadowed halls?
How many secrets 'hind the broken walls?

Oh, how many questions must we ask?
How many bullets for a single task?
How many guns in every hand?
How many freedoms are in this land?

How many times must history repeat?
How many souls for the victories we reap?
How many more to fall before we act?
How many times can we ignore the fact?

Oh, how many questions must we ask?
How many bullets for a single task?
How many guns in every hand?
How many freedoms are in this land?

How many nights of anguish and fear?
How many moments of despair so near?
How many lives changed in a flash?
How many innocents left in a dash?

Oh, how many questions must we ask?
How many bullets for a single task?
How many guns in every hand?
How many freedoms are in this land?

How many candles in the darkest night?
How many eyes that will never see the light?
How many hearts still seeking solace?
How many scars from society's malice?

Oh, how many questions must we ask?
How many bullets for a single task?
How many guns in every hand?
How many freedoms are in this land?

How many voices silenced in the fray?
How many dreams extinguished in the spray?
How many futures lost in the blink of an eye?
How many more young lives left to die?

Oh, how many questions must we ask?
How many bullets for a single task?
How many guns in every hand?
How many freedoms are in this land?

How many broken promises, hollow and vain?
How many children's lives forever stained?
How many tears fall, yet no one hears?
How many more tragedies will it take this year?

Oh, how many questions must we ask?
How many bullets for a single task?
How many guns in every hand?
How many freedoms are in this land?

Oh, how many questions must we ask?
How many bullets for a single task?
How many guns in every hand?
How many freedoms are in this land?
