Minds Locked Shut - Christy Moore

It happened on a Sunday afternoon

On a lovely bright crisp winters afternoon

On a perfect day for walking

There was gunshots, stones and bullets

On a lovely bright crisp winters afternoon

There was chaos, panic and death

Disbelief upon the faces

Fear and bewilderment

The seconds seemed so long

They’re firing bullets at us

It was not supposed to be like this

Awesome to behold

And then our minds locked shut

And then our minds locked shut

And then our minds locked shut

And then our minds locked shut

And there remains.
