The mission started early in the morning sun
Everyman who was there had a loaded gun
Fingers on his triggers and sights to his eyes
anticipating the dangers of the mornings fight
Beads of sweat poured across their brows as
they entered though the building by the old playground
Everything seemed quiet as they entered the scene
till the man in the front tripped a laser beam

Put the birds in the sky

Now the bullets spoke first as they split the air with
the sound of confusion crashing everywhere
Promises of death, screams and moans
from two separate languages from two separate homes
Back back on the news I caught the sports highlights
and, something about a soldier that died last night
Kids don't play near that building no more
1000 miles away from the media storm

Put the birds in the sky

The mission started early in the morning sun-Ya
