Rest In Piece

ย 

ย 

I have had this written down for many years, but I have only just found it again when searching through some old folders.

ย 

A few of the songs/poems I have on here were written as I was coming out of a very dark time in my life, but I still would like to share them with you as they are still part of my journey.


Rest in Piece

by Steve Rebus

Verse 1 C, Am7, Em, G

As they Wade through the blood of your family,

Bullets pass through you for all to see,ย 

Tears of blood, life long scars remain,

The evil one, is prowling once again,

ย 

Chorus Am, Em

Rest in Piece,

Children of war,

Rest in peace,

You donโ€™t have to fear no more,

ย 

Verse 2

Lying face down in the mud,

A war never turns out like they say it would,

Trying to send a prayer with your final breath,

While spitting and choking on the stench of death,

ย 

Chorusย 

ย 

Middle 8 F, C, G/B Am

Whoโ€™s to say whoโ€™s wrong,

Whoโ€™s to say whoโ€™s right?

How much innocence will die tonight?

ย 

Verse 3

Is the war over now, are we done?

Or has all the darkness only begun,

Whatโ€™s the value of a human life?

I guess that changes from side to side.
