The Lyrics
The lyrics, hopefully, speak for all who were touched by the tragedy of this event.
And it all happened in only ten minutes.
Four Years After
Desert heat autumn nights
Busy sidewalks Vegas lights
The 91 is heeding signs
Lambs in order, forging lines
Country sounds are in the queue
The lambs compressed but they get through
Foretelling of a coming rue?
A brooding cauldron, no one knew
And here we are, four years after
Trailing tears, no more laughter
Cradled lives, that ache repair
Still four years after, in the air
And here we are, so much gone
Searching for a breaking dawn
porous hearts, lost in vain
Scars are healing but not the pain
The evening cracked torrential shower
of leaden rain from on the tower
the unseen eyes of heinous glower
stole the stage with a thunderous power
Splintered noise across the grounds
The voices of a thousand rounds
Overwhelm the country sounds
The playpen’s now the battlegrounds
And here we are, four years after
Trailing tears, no more laughter
Cradled lives, that ache repair
Reverberations in the air
And here we are, so much gone
Searching for a breaking dawn
Four years after, lost in vain
Scars are healing not the pain
Heroes billet on descend
Casting light in every bend
Lift the lambs from where they’re penned
And sweep the blood from where it stemmed
So here we are, four years after
Painful tears, a search for laughter
The tally’s only just begun
There’s so much more from 91
Those survivors seek repair
Though many lambs, it’s solitaire
reverberations through the lair
Still four years after in the air -
For our friends - 10/1/17
