"Henry The Brave" lyrics

Fluorescent lights and violence will pierce the night and break the silence through the streets
Where we sleep tonight
A speeding bike, the screech of tires
An unmarked car will chase the rider through the streets
Where we sleep tonight
And the lights of blue will illuminate a teenage boy who won't get away, this time
Cause on and on, they chased his ped
Through the roads where he was born and bred and lived all his life

Killed by the men who were sworn to protect those as young and as innocent as he
Henry the brave, Henry the free
Henry was young, just a teen on the run
He was killed by the police in the streets
Henry the brave, Henry the loved, Henry the free

Fluorescent lights still shining
The chase will end with Henry lying on the streets
Where we sleep tonight
The sounds of sirens screaming
An ambulance will soon come speeding through the streets
But it's too late tonight
And the lights of blue will illuminate
The tears that stain his family's face for life
And in the streets the boys will weep
For that fallen friend who fell asleep, tonight

Killed by the men who were sworn to protect those as young and as innocent as him
Henry the brave, Henry the free
Henry was young, just a teen on the run
He was killed by the police in the streets
Henry the brave, Henry the loved, Henry the free

No charges or convictions to his name
Harassed and persecuted every day
And now written on the walls his name
Henry the brave

Killed by the men who were sworn to protect those as young and as innocent as he
Henry the brave, Henry the free
Henry was young, just a teen on the run
He was killed by the police in the streets
But Henry was brave, Henry was loved
Henry will always be free
