The monster shattered the day
In a place where innocents play
I was mourning as the headlines shouted his name
They didn't waste any time
I was disgusted when the madman's image
Appeared at the top of the screen

Some were barely alive
Too many didn't survive
Still they kept repeating headlines, shouting the name
Do they not realize
The future demons with the hope of becoming
The one at the top of the screen?

They've thrown morality away
With such depravity, I must say

You made sure the world will remember the name
But didn't the thought even enter your mind?
You'd give a new legion of monsters
A reason to take your life

The pictures drove me insane
Can't get them out of my brain
You made certain they were right at the top of the page
You disrespected the dead
When the only name was of the one who committed
The murder at the top of the page

The madman watching with glee
As the herd of innocents flee
They saw it all unfold right on the face of the screen
Perhaps they could be the one
Who'd become famous for the acts of terror
Reflected on the face of the screen?

You've thrown morality away
With such depravity, I must say

You made sure the world will remember the name
But didn't the thought even enter your mind?
You'd give a new legion of monsters
A reason to take your life

And I call you a pimp, as you whore the insane
The damage you caused you cannot rectify
You've inspired new legions of monsters
Determined to take more life

Take a look around, listen to the sound
Feel it to the ground, fear has come in a wave
Just another gathering of helpless innocents forced into the grave
Listen to me now, are you with me now?
Can you tell me how these vultures still glorify them?
Let's defy them

You're giving a legion of monsters a reason
