Black Pyre

Nothing learned, nothing gained, repeat mistakes
Seize control, death trails in their wake
What worth are the dead caught between
Streets run blood red no one sees
Try again and again they cant lose
Minds so easily bent madness ensues
Scortched earth with no boundaries, this age old game
Snake puppets bite their forked tongues and promise change
This helpless world so immune to guilt
Sits on a pyre together we have built
The charred remains of yesterday
Not fuel enough to ignight a change
Can we do without the powers that be
For the sake of those down on their knees
The altruistic vows appeal
To all those crushed beneath their heels
Lets throw it out, let the embers light our shame
Lets burn it down and dance around the flames
Set in stone long ago the end awaits
Progress resets, no escape
Whats left? left to lose? it's all in vain
Rewrite the rules of this violent game
The hate from flags and borders spreads like decay
A checkerboard of nations, king those who pay to play
In a blackened, ashen courtyard, ruins fall
Destroy the final stronghold, torch it all
