Breath of life
 
peace of mind
in a war torn world
embrace I love
as hate consumes millions
walk they upon the wicked way
feeding on one another
as the deception feeds on all
blessed are the poor
bound in the chains of poverty
who live with faith
wretched are the wealthy
who believe they stand above any
but their chains are tight
about their bloodless necks
their punishment draws nigh
on winds of nuclear dismay
 
Seek and discover
the One
 
Gasp of Death
 
short of choice
in these shredded rules
wrapped in fear
as brothers pay the price for greed
waving their weapons
aimlessly taking sight
between the eyes of innocent children
spilling blood of the weak
reaping profits of Black Gold
staining soil with soiled
bodies lining the shores of seas
sinking in sand
under docked export ships
impaling their anxious anchor
upon foreign territory
 
Lose and Forget
what's right
 
Breath of life
 
happiness plays in the streets
just beyond the reach
of the darkest shadows
stretching across the world
Righteous spirits stand few
in small groups and alone
like pinpoints of light
on a blanket of utter black
man falls
into the seas of heathens
when the undying flame
is forsaken
 
Know and Embrace
The One
 
Gasp of Death
 
mourning teardrops gather beneath
trodden paths of Batallions
bareknuckling sandstorms
rising to the smeared bloodrops
Decietful Governments abandon
Heroes on ancient stretchers
sending them home doubled-up
in biodegradeable bodybags
women call
for husbands through megaphones
acting as a bonus gift with
the flag when they bury a spouse
 
Lose and Forget
what's right

lost and forgotten
what was once right

....It's all wrong....

this is all wrong
