LYRICS
As you stare down the barrel with your experienced aim
One finger on the trigger for a bullet
With a life at the mercy of your finger tips
Will you pause for a second while you think about this

CHORUS
Because) 
You can't take the bullet back once you pull the trigger
You can't take the bullet back once you pull the trigger
No you can't

As you ready you words with your experienced claims
With a mind so sure that someone else is to blame
With a heart at the mercy of your tender lips
Could you hold your tongue while you think about this (the risk)
Because...
CHORUS 

For the mercy of unfortunate fire
Someone could hope that the bullet will miss
And at the mercy of the call of the wild
To what degree do we all live a life like this

I'm trying to say that I'm tired of the violence 
I'm tried of people being hard or silenced
I'm tired of being afraid
And brace the world for what could be delivered

CHORUS
