The Little Ones

Oh they’ve killed all the little ones
while their faces still smiled
With their guns and their fury
they erased their young lives
No longer to laugh no longer to be a child
Oh they’ve killed all the little ones
while their faces still smiled

Now they’re burying the little ones
and they’re making the graves deep
So the world cannot see
that tonight we may sleep
While they wash away the blood
the mothers all weep
Oh they’re burying the little ones
and they’re making the graves deep
Yes, they’re burying the little ones
and they’re making the graves deep

But where will the devils go
when that day comes 
When the angels drag them out
to face the little ones
Oh they’ve killed all the little ones
with their eyes open wide 
There was no one to help them
on the day that they died
No bed to run under no cover to hide..
Oh they’ve killed all the little ones
with their eyes open wide
                                                                                     
But they’ll be raising the little ones
with no sin to atone
In the light of high heaven
they will sit on tall thrones
Where playtime lasts forever
and God's mercy never ends
They’ll be raising the little ones
and they’ll all be best friends
They’ll be raising the little ones
and they’ll all be best friends
