THE BLACK CAPE MAN

Tears,

were streaming down my cheeks,

down her cheeks,

down their cheeks,

But the cape man didn't care,

He went on shooting,

Spoiling and killing

My heart was fast and scared,

The shining moon was watching but it didnt show a care

I feared the last day was here,

For me, for her and for him to live

shovelling past her and

under the darkness I sat,

Wrapping my legs and pulling my striped hat,

tears were still streaming down my cheeks,

down her cheeks, down his cheeks,

hotter than ever, sadder than ever,

but the cape man didn't care,

he went on shooting,

killing and ending

I heard a scream, colder than the night,

It was her, it was her alright,

helpless and alone, her body lay,

was it dead? I couldnt say

But the cape man didn't stop,

He went on killing,

shooting and spoiling

I saw him standing there,

A big gun, twice his size,

But I had lost and he had won,

As his heart was as cold as ice,

My ears strained the noise beyond,

The noise of death, my death, as it approached

I closed my eyes and wished my dream,

"I could be born in a better world than this",

Try as I could, I couldn't stop the voice,

The last voice to my ears,

BANG!

But the capeman didn't stop,

He went on killing and shooting

looting and spoiling

The last drop of our happiness
