Swallow The Splinter

Our cries of pain haunt the night
The iron fist drains our might
Promised words that fell from grace
A somber plea on a tearful face

We are clinging on the edge
What will become?
The end we pledge?

Atrocity reaps our hallowed ground
In a sea of blood...we are left to drown.

The fires are burning bright
And we are forced to charge right straight into the inferno

Are there so many years to come?
Inside the cell of our own home
No praise of heroes to be sung
Only hope to embrace,
Through perdition we are hung.

"We put our trust and faith in our leaders
And they have given us a better state of existence
But as greed overpowers principles
We fall victims to the chains of helplessness
The sparks of evolution will never catch
Because they have given the voices of dissent no loophole to crawl through
Men are misled by flaws
And flaws destroy men
We are ensnared forever
By your filthy desires"
