Tears from a black heart

They came for us.....
On the ground were we called home,
The home we have always known,
Where we grew to become lads,
They came for us.
With war drums, came the smell of smoke and blood,
The sound of destruction, we knew the rod, we had feared all our lives had come for us.

We children of this land,
We lads upon which the future would be had,
We were not spared ,they came for us,
In a barn underneath the house, we were hid,
while the smell of burning flesh exploded around us,
And we heard it, we knew they came for us, we heard they wanted us..........
