lyrics

I’ll tell you the story Of the masque murderer
And all of the ways the pot did stir
Do not go gentle Into that good night
For Brenton Tarrant might take your life

Im not afraid of him Or to know his name
And you shouldn’t be neither For what is knowing the name
Of a hideous creature with a terrible plan
To shoot up some churches and hurt fellow man

He killed 50 some people In such a venerable way
Just for being a muslim On another Sunday
Thirty six minutes after he shot up the mosques
They managed to catch him and change their gone laws

Six thousand eight hundred thirty five miles
From where Tarrant sits behind bars in a pile
In Sri Lanka on the following Sunday
Couple hundred more people would meet the same fate

Nothing will ever be the same for the healing
As Tarrant goes on trial for the murder of New Zealand
With the live stream video still floating around
That the deranged man filmed when he shot up the town

Do not go gentle into that good night
For you might see the smoke through the Paris moonlight
As the last speech bellows out of Theresa may
And there’s talk of impeachment in the usa
