6 dead in Québec, 6 dead in Québec
By the hands of a man, Alexandre Bissonnette
But don’t only remember his name
Remember theirs too, Azzedine Soufiane
Abdelkrim Hassane
Khaled Belkacemi
Aboubaker Thabti
Mamadou Tanou and Ibrahima Barry

On a cold new year’s night, on the west side of town
Where people spoke to God, didn’t know what would go down
He walked into the room, they finished up their prayers
And then he took their life from them, the truest act of terror
They didn’t see it coming, though it wasn’t the first time
A pig’s head had been left on their door step once before
The villain ran away, they tried to stop the blood
But it was much too late, 6 des hommes étaient morts

What leads a man to be filled with such malice
That he’d go to mosque and just kill them?
Whats leads someone to be filled with such hatred?
Probably a whole entire system

So the government comes out, says this is a tragedy
Even though they are the ones who create the policy
They’ll turn right around, saying ‘what is all the fuss?’
But you can’t dress that way and even take the bus
They’ll tell you that it’s us who’ve come so much farther
And that we all drink from the same fountain
Cause you know that our society is secular
That is the reason there’s a cross on the mountain

What leads a person to think they are better?
Not a lone wolf but a vulture
What leads someone to be filled with such evil?
Probably a whole entire culture

See if he were a muslim, who’d gone and killed a white man,
The media wouldn’t have such a problem on their hands
They’d say he was a terrorist, probably part of ISIS
And all the muslims of this land would go back into crisis
Forced to justify, their place in white man’s eyes
And state that they are peaceful as if it was not a given,
As if this native land, was even theirs to claim
Blame and shame and hurt and pain, it is the car that’s driven

What leads a man to be filled with such malice
That he’d go to mosque and just kill them?
Whats leads someone to be filled with such hatred?
Probably a whole entire system

6 morts au Québec, 6 morts au Québec
Par les mains d’un homme, Alexandre Bissonnette
Mais ne vous souvenez pas seulement de son nom,
Rappelez vous les leurs, Azzedine Soufiane
