In a face a view, through eyes this world collides.
I am voiceless in my angst and nothing can take us back
To innocence.
Short, sharp, bloodlust reality.
In despair I reach for night,
In water purity reigns to be resolute.
As a land we clean our minds, reap our belongings,
Sow our angers and our strengths.
All to obsessed by weakness
We have brought ourselves to meaninglessness.
So easy to control, bring to harm.
A gathering of fools unjustified, on a mountain.
I collect my thoughts
And I rise above all that despises me.
Comprehend the ways of man
And under a flag we salute or burn
There is blood on both shores.
With hardened mind I travelled,
With hardened heart I conquered
