Stalemate Flaming Star lyrics

I was devastated when I heard the news
That it had happened again
An innocent victim fallen prey
At the hands of a deviant man

His deeds were hidden from the public eye
With a token action years ago
Can one simple action justify the lives he robbed
The innocence taken away?

When whispers turn to screams
A child torn from innocence we all fed the predator
His prey with our apathy and indifference

Now walk with our heads hung in shame

We knew this and still we didn't care
I don't consider myself better than anyone
But he doesn't deserve to breathe

The air I breathe, we pretend it's far away
But it's right here in our back yard
Children led to the slaughter robbed of purity
