They burn them, no remorse They laugh at them, it's just a game They whip them. Afterall, they're the ones to blame We watch in silence, lips zipped shut in defiance, or is it fear? Tear by tear we cry from them Smelling the stench of burning flesh, eyes stinging. Is this some kind of Test? We hear their shrieks until we are certain they are our own Ears ringing, voices faint, noses clogged with ash Take this gun and shoot me I'll be free from this at last

The Woods are Burning
They burn them, no remorse They laugh at them, it's just a game They whip them. Afterall, they're the ones to blame We watch in silence, lips zipped shut in defiance, or is it fear? Tear by tear we cry from them Smelling the stench of burning flesh, eyes stinging. Is this some kind of Test? We hear their shrieks until we are certain they are our own Ears ringing, voices faint, noses clogged with ash Take this gun and shoot me I'll be free from this at last
