David Shankle Group – The Widow’s Peak

You involve us in actions that are not our concern

Repeating the history – you just never learn

No thought to the families, no thought to their fate

Playing the war games against those you hate

How dare you place the blame at the widow’s peak?

Faceless apologies for the words that you speak

False atonement with the tears that you weep

At the height of the widow’s peak

Designing the costumes in war widow black

And practicing feelings, those you lack

With delusions of grandeur-illusions of fame

Your pointing the fingers and leave out your name

It’s not your son who’s sent to die

Proving a point with omissions and lies

How dare you place the blame at the widow’s peak?

Faceless apologies for the words that you speak

False atonement with the tears that you weep

At the height of the widow’s peak

You justify actions with plans to attack

Concealing intentions and twisting the facts

Magnanimous promises take the extreme

Praise be to you, praise be your needs

How dare you place the blame at the widow’s peak?

Faceless apologies for the words that you speak

False atonement with the tears that you weep

At the height of the widow’s peak

At the widow’s peak
