They build them tall. Because they don’t want you to see what’s going on behind there. And they don’t want anyone who cares about what’s going behind there to be able to make eye contact or interfere. And there are guards to keep caring people out so parents can kill their kids in peace. I wrote a song about those guards who stand behind that wall. Sounds like a fun tune, right?
Well, it’s not fun.
It’s not fun to listen to. And it was NOT fun to write. I didn’t enjoy the process. And I certainly despise the fact that the subject matter even needs to be brought up right here in the “land of the free.”
But this “home of the brave” is full of hypocrites who are afraid of their own shadows. And they’re afraid of how their offspring might negatively affect their own fun times and easy-breezy lives. Solution? Kill the offspring.
And they visit buildings, possibly just down the street from you, and pay people to do that very thing. And they even get to go in to those building protected by “escorts.” Some say deathscorts. If you’re one, this song is for YOU.
If You Stand Behind That Wall
There’s a wall here between life and death
Where the unborn are denied their first breath.
There are guards here making sure that life ends
And they don’t care that they’re killing our friends.
Well you can’t plead ignorance.
You don’t stand blameless,
When you stand in the middle of it all.
As you discard the innocent
You shake foundations.
If you stand behind that wall, you will fall.
There’s a clear line between right and wrong.
Listen close, please, to the words of this song.
We were all, once, where those babies are now.
Mothers kept us…we all made it somehow.
Well, the martyred little ones
Your choice keeps nameless
Never had any single choice at all.
Please don’t discard the innocent,
They’re God’s creation.
If you stand behind that wall, you will fall.
You will fall from Grace
To a hopeless place
With eternal, mournful cries.
And the sound you’ll hear ringing in your ear
Is the sound of your own lies.
