A scream of fear,
One day of pain,
Senseless slaughter,
With nothing to gain.

Seeking revenge,
With a mission to slay,
No conscience to stop them,
Nothing to stand in their way.

The sky grew dark,
And the clouds drew near,
The heavens were opened,
And God shed a tear.

His children were broken,
They had strayed from his side,
They hunted their prey,
Who had nowhere to hide.

Thirteen precious lives,
Were stolen this day,
Countless hearts touched,
Nothing left to say.
