Seventeen Lyrics


Terror spreads by nightfall

Blood burns down the floor

Screams rip through the air

How could she know?

Hate and savage temper

Armed his dreadful might

A cruel act in the name of love?

A woman died tonight

How many more will they suffer

In the hands of these beasts?

We will never forget what they died for

Now we protest in memory of the Seventeen

Shot down in the alley

Stabbed like helpless prey

Beaten in their very home

Lives are lost in vein

One was found cemented

Two with smothered throats

Rampage has no ending

When do we say no more?

How many more will they suffer

In the hands of these beasts?

We will never forget what they died for

Now we protest in memory of the Seventeen

Blood has been spent

Tears have been shed

The pain is deep, can't seize to be

Sisters and mothers, daughters and friends

They will all be redeemed

Oh, they will be redeemed

Yes they will all be redeemed

Their final act won't be in vain

They will be redeemed

How many more will they suffer

In the hands of these beasts?

We will never forget what they died for

Now we protest in memory of the Seventeen
