murder in the afternoon
just coming here is bring me down
names in stone that died too soon
scream out but there’s no sound

it’s bringing me down, down
I stand and remember
with my father
but I won’t break down, break down

murder in the afternoon
just coming here reprieve is found
fallen heroes from yesterday
honored upon on this hallowed ground, this hallowed ground

it’s bringing me down, down
I stand and remember
with my father
but I won’t break down, down

we’ve come here to heal
we’ve come here to pray
we’ve come here to remember
another time another place
in the shadows we stand
as the tears roll down my father’s face

it’s bringing me down, down
I stand and remember
with my father
but I won’t break down, break down

I won’t break down
