When the rains came,
the carillon rang out above the pairing ships
the Good Shepherd Lutherans, 
a call to communion
their flagons filled
Twenty-three bells, for whom do you toll?
If it's God's plan, then pull the guns
from the hands of the white man

By the early afternoon, 
the rains had made pools along the Mile Ground
the dead were floating in it,
the bodies bobbing were the innocent
and the flies soon swooned
four and twenty jenny wrens flying in
to steal the crumpled spins of the skeletons

Your eyes wouldn't believe
the extent of the greed
when a nation of laws won't prevent
so many deaths

Look how you leave us with nothing to lose...

So Many Deaths

Dying in a hospital surrounded by love ones.
