The Soldiers of Sacrifice

The silent surrender of sacrifice

 

Can sever the soul's inner pride

 

Can quench the thirst for suicide

 

of a secretly smoldering love inside

 

Can cure the sickening sound of sorrow

 

******* the life from today and tomorrow

 

Can show the side that sanctifies

 

and sweetens others' lonely lives

 

Can save the stricken who always hide

 

the last core of sanity deep inside

 

Can slowly but surely open the eyes

 

of fools and fakes who cauterize

 

and burn the good from all our lives

 

the sullen soldiers of sacred lies

 

who fight a war for no one's side

 

and wish for nothing otherwise

 

a slient surrender from sacrifice.
