Books and Blood

an agent for the devil , on the road again
look what he has done
he’s the icon on the morning news
he’s another smoking gun.
Should the teacher open up the book
or tell the class to run

In a class room in a quiet town
the question is why ?
books and blood keep mingling
will we graduate or die ?
bullets turn the pages
where books and blood are red
the gun wont stop smoking
until it’s on the news again

empty casing s keep on ringing
yes it’s a different kind of bell
seems to be chapter
straight from the books of hell
the smoking gun is traveling
but who’s hand has it found
the books will tell the story
beside the blood spilled on the ground

Books and blood get powder burned
pages turn so crimson red
somewhere Satan’s laughing
as he starts to count the dead...
In a class room in a quiet town
the question is why ?
books and blood keep mingling
will we graduate or die ?
