Prejudice and Prodigies - We have the power to change

The fools' contempt is what we need When everyday is all filth and greed And while the heavens sing from above The hurting children cry out for love We open our filthy palms Just to escape this terrible fate Of lies, and thieves, and worthless things And only words of hate The gay men, the starving children, and the drug addicts are bombed Satanists and alcoholism The freedoms we had Now prejudiced and gone Suicides are left and right As the animals start singing The Moon weeps for her children As the Sun is merely sleeping Where did they go? What is wrong It is time to escape this fate That we have invoked all along And as the blood in our veins feels like it's about to burn The end of the day And the tears we cry Is all a lesson learned Now cry for the last lullaby All hope is gone From the voices in our heads And now we die! Side by side and hand in hand On the battlefield Where our bodies are merely one grain of sand. We cause pain to our dying brothers And become ourselves, merely traitors.
