annihilation
1.
Like a hungry corpse, I walked
Shuffled dead-eyed through the earth
The wasteland of our dying world
Just another stillbirth.
2.
Rest in peace to rise for war
And what you have become
To hide again behind rusty knives
That have stabbed you till your numb.
3.
The meek inherit nothing
The weak inherit death
The world becomes a graveyard
For jackals picking over bones
to leave nothing left
4.
If god existed once upon a time
He was aborted by mankind
And love-eyed long snuffed out
When light became so much darkness
We made up nursery rhymes
To silence our own doubts.
5.
The forward bloody march of 'history'
What of words, but make believe?
And all our saints are murderers
and all our cities, Sodom.
6.
For the soil, spilt foreign blood
A sacrifice to more foreign gods still
A boneyard becomes our country
and tombstones? monuments to a conquerors golden age.
7.
Swan song for the fallen
Who we over tread
Rob the poor to feed the rich
Society is a butchers pen
8.
And we the cattle become the nameless dead
Or property to the robber kings
The barons who burn, and rape, and rend
And laughing, paint the whole world red.
9.
One-eyed madness in the land of the mad
leads the blind to slaughter the blind
united for the 'greater good'
Vultures who call themselves 'mankind'
10.
Our glory will be forgotten
On a planet that still glows
With the atomic ashes, weeping
For an empire nobody knows
11.
Our legacy will be fire and ruin
Grey horizons draped with fading corpses
far beyond where the eye cant see
oceans of blood will flood the world
and drown the last survivors of "humanity"
12.
If hope were a candle
whos light stood against
the seas of violence
we had commenced
13.
We'd ask ourselves in the dark
why would we even begin?
The ruin would be our last work of 'art'
A tribute to our final sin.
