That Day in Norway





One Long Day, An Hour Long
A Distant Norwegian Song
An Endless Merciless Slaughter
An Evil Man Did Falter

A Rage, A Tragedy
A Horror, An Infamy
One of Eighty Five
A Teen, No Longer Alive

A Disgust, An Inhumanity
The Peace, The Broken Serenity
Innocence and Piercing Screams
A Picturesque Island, A Blood Stream

The Survivors Their Tears
In Their Eyes, The Unforgettable Fear
That Dark, Friday of July
Lifeless Bodies, Now Lye

Rest Now, In The Peace You Sought
Before You, Forever Long Fought
To Be Young, To Be Lost
Your Toll, Our Forever Cost
