The moon tells a story and though it is gory, you might want to listen quite well;
for the price that it takes for making mistakes is as cold and as hateful as hell.
Just the judgment from one, and the help of a gun are all that it took for a sin.
Please, wait ere you judge for your words could be sludge like what happened to Gabriel Gin.
A student at school, not meant to be cool, with skin like that of a lily,
whom always is teased, all the students are pleased, except for Seneca McKrilly.
But Gabriel's clueless, oblivious to this, and easily ignores all the laughter,
this bothers a student, Gin's head he wants to dent, he's the only one whom he is after.
The reason for this is the beautiful miss Seneca Vanchassen McKrilly,
for she loves the blue eyes as soft as the skies and the skin like that of a lily.
With Gabriel Gin, oh what love she is in! Though someone is in love with her;
it's the student who hates, who decides all the fates, and trouble he's looking to stir.
Then one day in the school yard the temptation is too hard, Seneca can't help it, she smiles.
Gabriel does see, and he smiles with glee; you can see the grin for miles!
But the student, he knows, and hot air he now blows as he's mad with jealousy and rage;
so he plots and he schemes, when he's finished he beams life a tiger released from the cage.
So late, late and night he waits out of sight for Gabriel to return to his home;
at Seneca's he was and returns with a buzz that he'll have wherever he does roam.
But the student is waiting, for he thinks they are dating, and with him he carries a gun.
He's gone crazy and mad, and though it is sad, he won't rest until his job's done.
Now the gun he does fire, although he is the liar, and Gabriel falls to the ground.
She hears his cries; to the scene how she flies! But the blood is the only thing found.
And so this is where, for I cannot bear, to go on; the story now ends.
But the student is frozen for the others had chosen, in the end, just to be friends.
The moon tells a story and though it is gory, you might want to listen quite well;
for the price that it takes for making mistakes is as cold and as hateful as hell.
Just the judgment from one, and the help of a gun are all that it took for a sin.
Please, wait ere you judge for your words could be sludge like what happened to Gabriel Gin.
