One More Day (Quid Pro Quo)

Hello, are you there? Are you listening?
Let me tell you a tale of pain.
That ended not long ago.
There was once a man who lived, loved and provided,
For those he held most dear,
Until one fateful day.

Tears will fall!
As killing in the name of a faceless god,
Takes people’s lives away!
Their screams cry out!
As men who hide behind their colours,
Fade away into the dark!
Oh, what he’d give for,
One more day!
To see them smile again,
One more day!

But no, lives snatched away by a coward’s hand,
As dreams are crushed to dust,
By madmen fighting their own wars.
What logic can there be in killing for religion?
How can faith be based on fear?
Quid Pro Quo, paid by people’s blood.

Tears will fall!
As killing in the name of a faceless god,
Takes people’s lives away!
Their screams cry out!
As men who hide behind their colours,
Fade away into the dark!
Oh, what he’d give for,
One more day!
To see them smile again,
One more day!

Tears will fall!
As killing in the name of a faceless god,
Takes people’s lives away!
Their screams cry out!
As men who hide behind their colours,
Fade away into the dark!
