The cold itch of a thousand stares Burning on my neck. The scorched earth and razor wire Obstructing my ascent. Thirty years of obscurity leading up to this. The sin of Cain is still rife On this earthly dredge.
There’s no end to the vented hate And we choose to partake. And so humanity Still ignores its fate.
And I turn to a fallen son And a promise of a goal. A chance to finish off What we all begun. But the circle only ends When the burden is too much. Another twisted body Faceless, nameless in the mud.
It’s been a century Since the Greatest War was contained. But we’re still judging man On behalf of the God we forsake.
And don’t pretend you can vilify. When we’re all content to die. For a man-made lie.
