Bright but stubborn

One life lost many lives taken All in the name of our holy protector Down down down they go As I go on up for my good deed But of course they do not see it so They cannot because they do not have the same eyes as me They have not seen the truth of our holy protector And they never will be able to see him like me They must be punished for all their crimes It is impossible for them to change They are too steeped in the sin and filth of their imagined god They cannot be cleansed Their very essence is swine They must pay the ultimate toll So that I may pass free To a place absent of such blasphemers and liars But I hold someone very dear Mustn't they too? I love Mustn't they too? Yes... But they can never love him who they are supposed to So I must take them away from their very closest And the ones they love To understand the depth of their mistakes
