Ferguson from Ferguson (Single) by Devil Met Contention
This song is for those who's strength to hold their resolve in the hope that one day equality and justice will prevail over hate, carries us as a world and ever changing nation, into the future.
Michael Brown, Jr. (May 20, 1996 – August 9, 2014)
The tragedy of life is often not in our failure, but rather in our complacency.

Lyrics

F E R G U S O N
-------------------------
In Ferguson Missouri
Shot down in the streets
Laid Mike Brown down, surely
He’ll never get up to his feet
See twelve shots rang out in chasing
To halt, or maim, or kill
Black luck in Missouri,
At the seams it doesn’t spill
Suspicion found two walkers
They matched convenience crime
Pursue if need pursuing
Down Hell and Earths fine line
Brought to the Grand Jury
Each side the spoke, each side they sought
A justice blind, a justice truthful
The law is fair they thought
Lines blur time ensuing
The day the verdict dropped
Tears fall with no conviction
Away Wilson did walk
Now Ferguson's in ash and flame
Newscasters they flock
To fan the fire of one man’s name
Until, the next ones shot
