Flyleaf - "Cassie"
This song is about Cassie Bernall. For those of you who don't know, this song is directly related to the Columbine High School Massacre of April, 1999. When Eric Harris bent to shoot Cassie Bernall, he allegedly asked the question "Do you believe in god?" And when she answered "yes" He shot her.
The question asked in order
To save her life or take it
The answer no to avoid death
The answer yes would make it
"Do you believe in God"
Written on the bullet
Say yes to pull the trigger
And my sister Cassie pulled it
They didn't love there lives so much
As to shrink from death
Inspired in their footsteps
We will march ahead
Don't be shocked that people die
Be surprised you're still alive
All head are bowed in silent reverence
The floor is wet with tears of sorrowful remembrance
The alter's filled with hearts of repentance
Perfect love kills all fear
Rejoice in this deliverance
