In the eyes of the world
Shall peace be revealed
In the mouths of the hungry
Shall the truth be concealed
Do we fear god
Or the word "fear" itself
We are the corrupted
Who only cares for thyself
Through tears and violence
We seal up in a pod
But the Bible must say
We are the true image of god
I am not a preacher
And you shan't follow
You will forget
When time comes the morrow
So we stand corrupted
The vigilant and poor
Because when the morrow comes
We will be no more

Shall the ears only hear
What they all seek
Setting the world on the shoulders
Of the perilous meek
Shall the nose only smell
The vile perfume of lies
Our arrogant ways
Will plan our demise
To the hungry, poor
blind and unique
I can assure you
This is not what you seek
Forced to violate
Into religion alone
And thy heart that beats
Tis not thy own
In the darkness
Morrow will dawn
No more stand corrupted
For we shall be gone

Our own immaturity
Will bring the world to an end
Our own lives failure
Is not left to mend
A dire ending
'Twas warned the Earth
And no promises
Of a second birth
The last taste shall be
Smoke and ash
The last thing you smell
Burning ox and ***
Last thing be heard
Slicing off heads
And the last thing you see
Everyone's dead
You all were wrong
And peace stood right
To the poor and corrupted
We must say goodnight
