Colette walks down the empty street,

the fightings stopped, no more trouble, 

gone is the place where she used to live, 

all that's left are piles of rubble.

She doesn't know what happened to her daughter,

she was staying with friends that night,

when gunmen came and opened fire,

shooting everything in sight.

She came across a pile of bricks,

a small hand points up to the skies, 

on it she recognises a bracelet,

Colette sinks to her knees and cries.

Oh dear Lord don't let this be true, 

my daughter never did any wrong,

why did you have to take her,

when the evil in our world remain strong.

She places the body in the hole she has dug,

says a prayer as tears roll down her face, 

she points the gun towards herself,

and says goodbye to the human race.
