Riegelstamm A hauntingly beautiful song for such an ugly, hateful attack on decency. Love trumps hate.

Scott Sandler This is a beautiful, sad, important song. We must never forget Charlottesville, Heather Heyer, and other stains on our country. Hate must never be normalized.

lyrics

SHADOW OF THE MOON

The innocents
Didn't know their plans
Though they made them free
For the world to see
Could you stand for what's right in the dark of night?
Could you stand your ground though they may burn you down?

We can't go back
To before the attack
There's blood on the streets, in our eyes
Just a speck on the earth
Just a day lost in time
As we stand in the shadow of the moon

Now the veil is torn
In a single moment
As we hear that sound, see bodies on the ground
Could I stand for what's right, though it might mean my life?
Can I carry this weight, can I hold all this pain...

Now the flowers are gone
All the chalk washed away
Will you still
Say
Her
Name

We can't go back
To before the attack
There's blood on the streets, in our eyes
Just a speck on the earth
Just a day lost in time
As we stand in the shadow of the moon
