Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It was a dark night, when I heard the news
Rolled up my sleeves, and walked
Like a landslide, overly abused
Yeah, told myself to call
[Verse 2]
Yes my mother vacantly confused
She told me not to bawl
Bawl my eyes, 'cause  my eyes are red
With nothing left at all, no
[Verse 3]
So I got mad, my composure
Head quickly for the door
And yet alarm bells ring, maybe not enough
Frequent the lady called
[Verse 4]
Called me, your grandmother, I loved her so much more
Then nobody else
Left on this Earth
I'm in a state of roar
[Verse 5]
As we marched through the madness
April was unclear, suddenly
It turned to sadness
Hopes turned into fears
[Verse 6]
And it was May
It was May
It was May
It was May
[Verse 7]
Guess it was the day, the day of reckoning
Six feet beneath the soil
Yet we held on, held each other tight
With standards soon to storm
[Verse 8]
'Cause we here now, yes we here now
Moments like this are raw
It's my family tree plating it's roots
Stronger than before
[Verse 9]
As we marched through the madness
April was unclear, suddenly
It turned to sadness
Hopes turned into fears
[Verse 10]
And it was May
It was May
It was May
It was May
[Verse 11]
You left, you left
Without a chance to say
Without a chance to say goodbye at all
A chance to say goodbye at all
[Verse 12]
As we marched through the madness
April was unclear, suddenly
It turned to sadness
Hopes turned into fears
[Verse 13]
And It was May
It was May
It was May
It was May
