CHAPTER 21

December 31, 2016. There was a party going on at Shooter's Pub and Grill to bring in the New Year. The entertainment that night was The Shield. The band was getting ready to play their 2nd to last song as 4 of the guys from the group stood forward at the front of the stage. Alan Witt began playing the soft, sad notes to the song. No drum, no bass, no keyboards. Just a guitar and the voices of these men. Microphone in hand, Jake, the lead singer, began to sing.

VERSE 1

(Jake)Well, I heard there was a secret chord, that David played and it please the Lord.

But, you don't really care for music, do ya?

Well it goes like this: the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift.

The baffled king composing Hallelujah.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

Jake passed the microphone to his right and the 2nd man began to sing.

VERSE 2

(Roman) Well, your faith was strong, but you needed proof. You saw her bathing on the roof.

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya.

She tied you to her kitchen chair. She broke your throne and she cut your hair.

And from your lips, she drew a Hallelujah.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

Roman passed the microphone over to his right and the 3rd man began to sing.

VERSE 3

(Seth) Baby, I've been here before. I've seen this room, and I've walked this floor. (you know).

I used to live alone before I knew ya.

And I've seen your flag on the marble arch. And love is not a victory march.

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

Seth passed the microphone over to the right the final time to the fourth guy. He brought the microphone to his lips and he began to sing.

VERSE 4

(Dean) Maybe there's a God above. But all I've ever learned from love

Was how to shoot somebody that outdrew ya.

And it's not a cry you hear at night. It's not somebody who's seen the light.

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

The song ended and the crowd, with Kayla and Shannon in the front row, applauded. The performance gave everyone goosebumps, even Kayla and Shannon. There was still time for one final song of the year 2016. The members of the Shield wanted to close off this year rocking. They knew exactly what song to choose.
