Accidental Shot Heard 'round The World lyrics

Song information

Artist: August Burns Red
Album: Looks Fragile After All

Lyrics

Currently holding that tongue
Let's just see what happens
Sky is red tonight
It moves streaming with rain that beats the pavement
How does it sound against the church roof or its bells?
It probably echoes
Sanctuary meets comforting
The mother sews as the father searches for his gun
Shots hurt my ears
I'll bite my lip to take in the deafening
Shots hurt my ears
I'll shut my eyes to remember the symphonies
I'm surprised to find him running in the rain
It's too dangerous
Risking the chance that bullets would fly with their purpose straight to the life
All too many simple mistakes disguising innocence
Tension builds in every nerve
I'm tired of falling short in understanding what it all meant
Or what it's supposed to mean
I was relieved to see your face when I woke
Before the last accidental shot brought my father to his knees, face in his hands
It felt good to be saved in some way
