We sit in peace
as we hear
the rude comments.

We sit in peace
as the people
plead.

We sit in peace
as the sirens
start wailing.

We sit in peace
as we hear
muffled screams.

We sit in peace
when the people
go missing.

We sit in peace
when they're
on their knees.

They sit in peace
when the people
come knocking.

They sit in peace
when it's our turn
to bleed.
