How much evil can a building bear Faces locked behind its walls Silent screams lost consumed by its halls The crosses and statues of God so divine Form a line so hypocritical As they stood over these heinous crimes
How long, how much time How many people must we watch die How many tears of anger and fear’s How many tears Must fall Before the government listens to the people’s call.
Is our government hoping that our tears will wash the pain away? Do they believe they will get away with the games they play? These building stand tall Irelands death camps The abuse, the suffering, The ones that could no longer live and were sentenced to die The memories of these people that government now tramp
We listen how they talk about change How they will investigate the mass unmarked graves Men, Women, Children all lay unnamed I am sure some of these people prayed with their last breath This was vein as they could only find death
These building now stand With for sale signs up It just goes to show how our country is corrupt Now our government promised to give such a building back To talk to the survivors Build a museum a place to display the horrific facts
Now the for-sale sign is flying high The people are asking themselves why Let down by a system that allowed these crimes Now let down again
When will it stop the pain and despair I believe it will never stop unless the government play Give back the properties, pay your respects Get down on one knee and beg for forgiveness Acknowledge what happened and release the facts Pursue the people that committed the crimes Stop trying to hide what happened And stop the lies. Let’s try to remember it was our people that died.
Give it back to the people like you said you would. Let us grieve and let us believe all of this cover up is in the past.
Our government sure has a lot of crimes. I was born during the Vietnam War, a war for profit. Then Nixon shipped many jobs to China. Clinton helped it along with NAFTA. Then all the people that were killed in Iraq. It just goes on and on. I guess it does not matter whether you are on the emerald isle or here, people who have power really seem to enjoy doing bad things.
