Echoes in the hall

Lyrics to a song I wrote years ago....I think around 1993

This is a song I wrote in 1993 (1 of 3...) in response to this:

Fourteen young women lie dead in Montreal
Blood stained pictures left hanging on the walls
Daughters of our mothers, echoes in the halls
Don't you remember the girls in Montreal?

Chorus:
And let their memories live on
Refuse to pay the price for what he's done
Understand the reasons; put away your guns
And let the memory live on

Engineers and doctors, sisters, lovers too
Friends of your brother, he was someone that you knew
Like a holocaust forgotten, a woman, or a Jew
Don't you remember, it was morning headline news?

Chorus

Sisters in the chapel, mothers knelt in prayer
Yellow satin ribbons, a symbol we will wear
For the crime of our father's son, his cross we're left to bear
Don't you remember, that sinner in despair?
