'Sunday Bloody Sunday (30, January 2022)'

I can't believe the news today
I can't close my eyes and make it go away
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long? How long?
'Cos tonight
We can be as one, tonight, tonight.
 
Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across the dead-end street
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall
 
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Alright, let's go
 
And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won?
The trenches dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters 
Torn apart
 
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
 
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long? How long?
'Cos tonight we can be as one, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight 
Tonight, tonight 
 
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Sunday, bloody Sunday 
Sunday, bloody Sunday 
Wipe the tears from your eyes 
 
Here at the murder scene 
The virus of fiction, reality TV 
Why so many mothers cry
Religion is the enemy of the Holy Spirit guide 
And the battle just begun 
Where is the victory Jesus won

The Virus tearing us in two
I love the inclusion of the Virus that is tearing the world in two- not just the obvious Virus, but the Virus of the media shattering people into little drops of delusion. We must break through and claim the victory Jesus won.
