Shelby M. Forrest - An Oft Repeated Tale lyrics

Oblivious to dark, foreboding clouds. The tiny baby snuggled safe and warm. So unaware of danger looming near, Secure and trusting in her mother's arms. From close-up range explosions rent the air. With deadly aim the lethal volley came. ‘Twas ethnic cleansing practiced by the Serbs, Mere players in this genocidal game. The mother tightly clutched her baby close. She prayed to God that she could be alone. For naught but futile efforts could she make, As bullets bonded both their flesh and bone Thus God recalled this little baby's soul From such a brief sojourn upon the earth. The sudden, brutal ending of her life- Too premature, so few months from her birth Those thugs from Hades' fiery, hate-filled halls Will stand in judgment for their heinous crime And vengeance will be wreaked by God alone Beyond this life, but all in God's good time
