Shards Of Life Lyrics - Street Dogs

So when the smoke and the fire of anther attack slowly drift away 

Can anyone seem to find the appropriate words to say? 

When the pain of loss and sudden change conjure family strife 

Is there any hope at all for a return to normal life? 

Is there solace in condolence or just deeper pain dug up? 

The sad truth is victim's families have nothing to look forward to 

And I'm sick of picking up the Boston Globe and seeing painful days of loss 

Question everything without apology about the horror and the cost 

Shards of life are left behind, no easier, kinder path to find 

With a loss so bitter, so incomplete, with it hopes and plans crash in defeat 

And hope is a foggy and distant memory no hope for normalcy 

Cling close to the legacy of loss and shards of life, of life

We see a new war in the offing as we're challenged by a new plight 

It's media handle is terrorism, it's the same old ideological fight 

The debates will rage on, are we handling this thing right? 

Can't turn away reality, can't push it out of our mind's eye 

Shards of life are left behind, no easier, kinder path to find 

With a loss so bitter, so incomplete, with it hopes and plans crash in defeat 

And hope is a foggy and distant memory no hope for normalcy 

Cling close to the legacy of loss and shards of life, of life 

And civilian loss on the other side, is that something that we try to hide? 

What about the human condition, I'm sick of all these justifications 

Where is the real outrage? My god, there's got to be a better way 

Is this how we solve problems? I guess we haven't really evolved much
