A province waits with bated breath
A killer’s on the run
Our friends and neighbours are in harm’s way
When will all this be done?
Darkness resides within our souls
We cannot shake it free
A young man with hatred in his heart
Is all that we can see
Three men will return no more
Each a wound we cannot bear
Our sorrow runs an ocean deep
A lifeboat we all share
Families huddle in their basement cells
The dog goes on the floor
They anticipate the moment
They can go outside once more
The hours pass slowly by
The brave pursue the weak
Floodlights and sirens pierce the night
It’s Justice that they seek
Finally, the monster has been caged
Dawn breaks; a brand new day!
Like sunlight through a pane so black
Right always finds a way
