I once walked through the valley of death danger and despair
the streets were quiet all could hear
a gun shot rung out I stopped so suddenly
a police officer arrived to survey the scene
he shouted get out don’t say a word to me
with a parade ground voice which bellowed out
you don’t know who is watching and witnessing the scene
off you go on your way
go now as something awful had just taken place
in a busy english town
my thoughts suddenly changed
as peace had been broken
by a gun shot sound
then suddenly silence was everywhere
as death was in the air.
