War Maps & Figurines

Still the same old lessons
We refuse to learn
It all comes done to us
Pawns within the board games
We used to play as kids
War maps and figurines
For elites

Lives taking lives over lines
Leaving only lonely brides
Holding flags folded tight
Never to unfurl or fly
Like these birds
Bullet embers
Dying the night sky
A bright crackling incandescence

There is something solitary
Lost within our masses
Indignant cries
Seeking sanctuary
Neutrality worn
Like a big bullseye
And you can't hide
From all the lies or the lives

Lives taking lives over lines
Leaving only lonely brides
Holding flags folded tight
Never to unfurl or fly
Like these birds
Bullet embers
Dying the night sky
A bright crackling incandescence

Starfire in the sky
Nightly crossfire

Lives taking lives over lines
Leaving only lonely brides
Holding flags folded tight
Never to unfurl or fly
Like these birds
Bullet embers
Dying the night sky
A bright crackling incandescence
