We are all human, with a heart that pumps blood into our bodies, As well as emotions, love and hate into our systems Red, warm, thick For war or for peace, accident or destruction Dagger of the assassin or scalpel of the surgeon Glistening with the red warmth, To take a life or to save a life To bring anguish, or one last chance of hope The pain of the torture The lust for revenge The hunger for carnage Or the need of slaughter As genocide spills the blood of the innocent And justice takes care of the guilty Injury, causing an untimely demise And ****** takes the lives of the meek Human blood causes human fear Humans are the ones who cut the final thread We shatter the mirror, and float away on shadow-like boats of death When the heart stops beating, the breath stops, and the blood runs dry
