The Downcast - Nature of a Gun Lyrics

We're just receiving a list of the names and we're learning that the families are about to make a statement. The witnesses report their hell as they tell about who they saw fall. This time there's ten reported dead but we're still early on the scene. The families gather in front of the cameras. They show us family pictures of the people they saw this morning. We loved him. We loved her. The nature of a gun. The men, the men, who work the lines who make the guns, what do they say when they get home? The nature of a gun is to be admired, The nature of a gun is to defend. The nature of a gun is to protect. The nature of a gun is to serve.
