Crimson on the street

#### Crimson on the street (Short rap song about civil war)

Deafening silence
Blood in my ears
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to hide
The memories haunt like hell
The pictures he painted were real
Black was all around
When I woke up in fear

Tears in my eyes
Hiding pain behind that smile
The rain and the thunder
were chaotic that night
The words he etched
were beyond my shallow mind
Black was all around
wherever I took my sight

Dark before the light
Silence before the fight
Living in a sadistic world
was so much true and realistic that night
Gunshots to the head
Grenades behind
Black was all around
and there was nowhere to hide

An infant running on the street
Flashes across the sky
Why do we kill each other
when there can be peace if we decide?

Black was all around
hurting every life
Black was all around
clouding every mind
Black was all around
the people howled that night
Black was all around
and death reigned that night
