War Remains

Tensions build irons slams At evasion Wrong position either direction Bitter hands broken on the bars Fettered feckless and defeated Fettered feckless and defeated Unrecognizable form Hate played its role, no more I simply am Shattered glass eyes Mouths mutate shut Burning to howl In abandoned cages Fettered feckless and defeated Fettered feckless and defeated Unrecognizable form Hate played its role, no more I simply am Imprison me and I'll make a home Exile me and I'll walk alone Execute me from this rotting body You can't end me I'm not afraid

No one hears yet all complain No one tears no one strains Rotting moans of complacency The new world amenity Too soft to contend Too brittle to bend A quickening that aches Too fragile to break Chasms of mistakes Floods in the wake In every passing micro moment: decisions In every misstep: overcrowded prisons Proven in time Your wounds are mine Self-perpetuate another wound to make Paths of life trampled in scars Proven in time Your wounds are mine Proven in time Your wounds are mine Too soft to contend Too brittle to bend Too soft to contend

See things for what they are and what they're not There's no desire without fear Afraid of losing afraid of satisfaction A soul that always yearns for more Amassed mess Hoard yourself to death Kill all that's innocence Beg to possess Hellbent to see the world through dollar signs Hellbound for fragments, humanity in decline Frothing at the mouth, a gluttony that knows no bounds An endless awful grinding sound Avarice made you want this Avarice made you take this Gagged and bound you made this All alone Break it Wisemen wither like weeds Against a wall that wouldn't weep Avarice made you want this Avarice made you take this Gagged and bound you made this All alone Break it Avarice Avarice

Mythologies of war and peace Life takes life in order to survive Succumb to time or die as prey Death is the only certainty Extinction of one, survival of another Infinite repetition God above, man below Olive branches build the arrows God above, man below Bloody streets till no tomorrow It's a matter of how and when War is what makes us human Killer instincts to the top of the chains War remains God above, man below Olive branches build the arrows God above, man below Bloody streets till no tomorrow It's a matter of how and when War is what makes us human Killer instincts to the top of the chains War remains Myriads of fighting, endless dying We call it progress: evolution through death War remains

The power of hope and grief with logic lodged in between The action may haunt you, hopeless machinations Washed at the bank of indecision Hung in the balance: no remission We pang against the thought and call it: mercy Cut from a subjective cloth: killing Enter the gates, a life in mock: fields Lives bravely fought on mercy killing fields A fevered hole I've dug, sanitized prayer rug Sorrow becomes a drug, sign off and pull the plug We pang against the thought and call it: mercy Cut from a subjective cloth: killing Enter the gates, a life in mock: fields Lives bravely fought on mercy killing fields We pang against the thought and call it: mercy Cut from a subjective cloth: killing Enter the gates, a life in mock: fields Lives bravely fought on mercy killing fields Mercy killing fields A sobering reminder that we're none the wiser Almighty hallowed hands embrace mercy killing fields

Breaking down the illusion, no one's the person that you think Under these moral disguises, a blood-curdling dream We're not welcome here In a nation of fear No sanctuary clear In a nation of fear Marks on a child, scars on a human Follow a blood-lit path to the promised land We're not welcome here In a nation of fear No sanctuary clear Disintegrated masks Hewn from the caustic blast Melted down to force The old world to be reborn Familiar but inferior Immaterial ulterior

They vainly purify defiled in blood A fixation, reviling mud Harmonies in discord We're tended by the blows There's no sacrifice you'd make To accept your shame Dead earth Dead fire Dead air Empire Vainly purifying filthy infantilizing Opposites ignite in a world of blight Dead earth Dead fire Dead air Empire Dead earth Dead fire Dead air Empire An ever-living breath A spark that measures death The constant principal Exchanging cyclical The fire is the flux A planet self-destructs Burn anew through funeral pyre
