If I looked after the earth,
I'd burn it in passionate flames.
Bones inherit the soil,
not left a soul to claim.
The scent of rotting flesh,
brings essence to the finish
Life becomes extinct --
& so has the world within it.
Rich in confinement,
I slowly grow deranged.
Soon am I to join them,
hearken shrieks of the claimed.
My name is a song to them,
lost to genocide's insanity.
The voices in my head would claim;
"This is your new reality."
The grand rite performed,
& all has been fore-said.
I am to dine and dance --
with the souls of the dead.

I'd burn it in passionate flames.
Bones inherit the soil,
not left a soul to claim.
The scent of rotting flesh,

Life becomes extinct --
& so has the world within it.
Rich in confinement,
I slowly grow deranged.
Soon am I to join them,
hearken shrieks of the claimed.
My name is a song to them,
lost to genocide's insanity.
The voices in my head would claim;
"This is your new reality."
The grand rite performed,
& all has been fore-said.
I am to dine and dance --
with the souls of the dead.
