The night's ablaze with blue and red
Blurs gliding silent
As the first arrived on the scene
Illuminating so vividly

The darkness of man, obscene
The blood on his shirt staining darker
Than that of the flashing red
Waving above his head a crimson branded beam
An abused lover in the grass on her knees
(Pleading, cowering, trembling)

Observe the theatrics
Witness the play of man

Anger, violence, and jealousy
Are set to destroy all that we have

We've turned our shame into rage
Can't you see it's we who've set the stage?

Using a spade, meant to plow and sow
As a blade sharpened
Held to our brother’s throat

A child peeks her head out into the dark hallway
The soft white of the night light shines somewhere behind
She stepped out and began to pray
A child peeks her head out into the dark hallway
The soft white of the night light shines somewhere behind
She stepped out and began to pray

Angelic made, the earthly babe
Audible violence
Continues in the kitchen
"Let no bad happen"

Observe the theatrics
Witness the play of man
We've turned our shame into rage
It's we who've set the stage
