Queen City's Will



In evils wake, Queen City weeps
The souls of ten, the Lord he keeps

Friends and loved one's, laid to rest
Our wise, our kind, our brave, our best

It's hates intent, that we divide
That colors used, to pick a side

But hate itself, could not prepare
A swift response, of love and care

Bent, not broken, we unite
Our cities strength, as one we fight

No evil act can ever kill
The power of Queen City's will!
