So many children lie on the ground
So innocent with blood flowing throughout
Parents cry outside the school
Waiting for their children to come through
Some are blessed with a spared child
While others weep in the saddest hour
"Chorus"
How could anyone one do
Something so tragic
Something so evil
Couldn't possibly be true
But this world we live in
Is bound by sin
And the devil is loose
The devil is loose
The many parents of these poor souls
Must be dying inside as they attend the funerals
Holding tightly to the last memories of their lives
They cry out for help and everyone hears
As their voices fade into unforeseen ears
"Chorus"
How could anyone one do
Something so tragic
Something so evil
Couldn't possibly be true
But this world we live in
Is bound by sin
And the devil is loose
The devil is loose
"Bridge"
I leave you with nothing more
For I do not understand
The complexity of the darkness of man
I cannot fathom the reason why
Anyone could do something
So tragic in yet something so true
"Chorus"
How could anyone one do
Something so tragic
Something so evil
Couldn't possibly be true
But this world we live in
Is bound by sin
And the devil is loose
The devil is loose
The devil is loose
