Smoke clouds rising

Smoke clouds rising now up in the sky

Judgment’s come on down from way up high

Maybe some madman’s been now speaking to God

who told him who will live and who will not

Smoke clouds rising now up in the sky

Many now injured, and many have died

Buildings have fallen, the road’s bathed with blood

The hapless Mayor’s now calling it a hate filled plot

Me? I think that you reap what you sow

Intolerance has been so long our way to go

these men of violence, these men of hate

tell us who to love and who has betrayed

Our mores and values are now set by the gun

The brave are now scared and tired on the run

Smoke clouds rising have now filled up the sky

Many have fallen and many have died

Reckoning’s here and there’s no point to cry

It will not change anyhow

if we don’t give it a try

There’s no one left here,

except you and I

You and I will now

Have to stand up and fight.
