Rain run down the gutter
Carrying off a pool of blood
The ambulance takes another
Knowing this is a wound that will not heal
It will not heal

Words run down the pages
Carrying off the people's blood
Burying the memory
But this is a wound that will not heal
It will not heal

Tears run down our  faces
Carrying off ideals of youth
But not even surrender
Is mending the wound that will not heal
It will not heal
