[Intro: Vic Vega]
The first time I saw the news, when I was only 18
Witnessed the killings in my country, people crying at the murder scene
When my grandmother turned the TV on
Breaking news atop of him something was going wrong
This happened back in 2019
Every day of the month there was a curse on March 15th
All because of one fool started sinning
But that was the day when the earth stopped spinning
[Chorus: Vic Vega]
That was the day when the earth stopped spinning
That was the day when the earth stopped spinning
That was the day when the earth stopped spinning
That was the day when the earth stopped spinning
[Verse 2: Vic Vega]
Remembering the violent times, praying for Christ just was a thing
This was the day that changed everything
My country has fallen victim to terrorism
Wanting to write a song about this tragedy has been a mission
What's going on in the world today?
I'm sick of seeing innocent people getting thrown inside the graves
Their happiness became a lie
This was a moment that brought pain to everyone in this society
Thousands of civilians gathered to pay respects
And innocent souls didn't deserve to die a brutal death
These violent acts were truly evil
This was back when Jacinda Ardern became the voice for the people
It still hurts to this day
How such a brutal crime will make history and be shown on front page
These are the words that is hard to describe
Yeah, It's hard to describe
[Chorus: Vic Vega]
That was the day when the earth stopped spinning
That was the day when the earth stopped spinning
That was the day when the earth stopped spinning
That was the day when the earth stopped spinning
[Verse 3: Vic Vega]
It was such a tragic loss how people had to die a violent way
Depressing how these violent crimes became the source of getting fame
People paid tribute to the families of the dead
A terrorists attack? So what was going through his head?
There's so many problems that has ruined our community
Seeing this becoming front page is nothing new to me
Wishing everybody in the war could get along
Killing innocent civilians for fun and that is dead wrong
We shall remember the people who lost
Their lives and remember the people who made it out and survived
History's been made
That's when the earth stops spinning
So now it's up to God for him to make the right decision
{Pre Chorus: Vic Vega]
We as one, we unite as one
I dedicate this to everyone who lost a loved one
It was written, you may talk a life
Whether it is forgiveness, your soul is still in question
Cause we as one, we unite as one
I dedicate this to everyone who lost a loved one
It was written, you may talk a life
Whether it's forgiveness, your soul is still in question
We as one, we unite as one
I dedicate this to everyone who lost a loved one
It was written, you may talk a life
Whether it is forgiveness, your soul is still in question
Cause we as one, we unite as one
I dedicate this to everyone who lost a loved one
It was written, you may talk a life
Whether it's forgiveness, your soul is still in question
[Outro: Vic Vega/Lennox's Monologue]
Ever since my father left, my mother slowly became the same thing. My father abused her when he was around living in my grandmother's house. There were some good times, but mostly there were bad times. We used to love watching TV at home when the news came on. The moment when the Christchurch terrorist attack happened in 2019. It was horrible. I still remember that day on March 15th. I just couldn't believe it
