The Day That The Birds Stopped Singing
From all around the crowd
The laughter seems to go around
As the music went on repeat
Disaster came with a deadly treat
Out from the back a big boom appears
And screams then fill that laughing place
That big boom made some disappear
As some of them fell on their face
The day that the birds stopped singing
It felt like the world stopped spinning
Left with a lot of confusion
Many lay on the pavement frozen
What started as a fun event
Turned into a scary bet
When Ariana left the stage
Many went right to their graves
Why did they have to take them?
And rob them of a happy ending?
Awful people do awful things
But we will not forsake their names
I guess now weknow for sure
When death comes knocking on our door
A day that was meant for thanksgiving
Turned to the day the birds stopped singing
