Story Behind The Song
Written in response to the wave of violence that has swept over our nation and the world at large over the past year or two.
Song Description
Pounding drums and a battery of synths work against a lone acoustic guitar creating a feeling of building tension as the intro and opening verse unfolds. The tension builds until the song explodes into the first chorus around the 1:00 mark. A soft folk-like bridge provides a change of pace and tension release before the song slams back into the second chorus.

Lyrics
There's a menace on the loose and it's creeping cross the land
How and why it started we're still trying to understand
It's been through Parkland and Las Vegas too
It's all over the news, there's a menace on the loose.
San Bernardino, Orlando too, down in Dallas dead heroes in blue
Blood in our schools, it's tragic but true. Let's come together there's more we can do.
I get the feeling that the world's gone insane, killing people like a video game.
Nice and Paris still reeling with pain, flowers in the street and blood in the Seine.
You can't escape it, it's all over the news, there's a menace on the loose.
I believe there's still hope for the human race.
If we unite and come together we can make this world a saner place.
San Bernardino, Orlando too, down in Dallas dead heroes in blue
Blood in our streets, it's tragic but true. Let's come together there's more we can do.
I get the feeling that the world's gone insane, killing people like a video game.
Nice and Paris still reeling with pain, flowers in the street and blood in the Seine.
You can't escape it, it's all over the news, there's a menace on the loose.
There's a menace on the loose.
