At the base of the
alps, amidst the deep winter snows, stood the tiny village of Maryville. An
eye-catching array of quaint shops and friendly people, Maryville was viewed by
many as a fantasy destination. But for the residents who lived there, what
appeared to be a dream life could also be a nightmare.

Twenty little angels crying out as one. To Heaven they've ascended Victims of the gun
A coward of a man
an unfamiliar name
Looking to make history
With psychopathic fame
I wish these suicidal
Self destructive fools
Would blow their brains out in their homes
And stay away from schools
So if your life's unbearable
And you've hit the skids
See a freakin' therapist
Please just spare the kids.
