Virginia Tech Memorial - There’s No Sunset In Virginia
Evan Mack who is a composer and pianist from United States, wrote a song for the victims of the Virginia Tech Shooting.
There’s No Sunset In Virginia Lyrics
The TV, replaying like a broken record.
The image, it’s numbing, another record broken.
More questions, no answers, left to imagination
Alarming, disturbing, what are the implications?
All as one and all at once, we ask why they had to die
There’s no sunset in Virginia
The Earth is standing still
The mighty may have fallen
The pain never will
There’s no sunset in Virginia
The pain is in our eyes.
But if there is no nightfall
The sun will never rise
The candles are burning, blocking out the darkness
By thousands they flicker, light and sorrow linger
The silence is deafening, reliving consternation
Reminder, that violence cut short their aspirations
Now as one, we take a vow: protect the light for better days to come (refrain)
All as one we’ll look up to the sky to remember all the ones we left behind.
As the sun begins to set the sun will set us free (final refrain)
