With some cult-like magic
under a pillared sky
they imitate elation
trying not to cry
They got their dirty footprints
one every piece of land
they force their suicide
but say they understand
They make a reaper’s gold
out of a blood-bought free
they flaunt it with no conscience
for the world to see
They claim a hero’s grave
comes from a coward’s soul
they smash it all to pieces
and still swear it’s whole
They say they love beauty
in their evil chant
but they destroy more flowers
than the world can plant
They look on with pity
while those around them die
they say they’d like to make it better
but you know they lie
They got a hundred reasons
why they’re clean inside
but a man escaped from prison
has no more to hide
They brought their suffer
to a peaceful man
they say they’ll find forever
but i don’t think they can
They make a reaper’s gold
out of a blood-bought free
they flaunt it with no conscience
for the world to see
They claim a hero’s grave
comes from a coward’s soul
they tear it all to pieces
but still swear it’s whole
