The Scavenger
Now here's what has been going wrong
I've struggled far too long
I'm ordered to but my finger
Slips off the trigger
I'm not in command
I've been through this immoral maze
Brought hundreds to their grave
Never had to reconcile
I always simply filed
Never made a stand
Born to avenge
Died in attempt
The lives I scavenged
I might have just lent
In this specific day and age
I seem to have been changed
I fear this newfound empathy
In need of remedy
Will this ever end?
Born to avenge
Died in attempt
The lives I scavenged
I might have just lent
I am ceasing to be reckless
My ambitions were infected
By myself
I am failing to see clearly
Am I maybe more than merely
A scavenger?
Born to avenge
Died in attempt
The lives I scavenged
I might have just lent
A long-forgotten avenue
That no one's passing through
Has now become my last resort
From voices that once roared
Are they muted now?
I've struggled far too long
I'm ordered to but my finger
Slips off the trigger
I'm not in command
I've been through this immoral maze
Brought hundreds to their grave
Never had to reconcile
I always simply filed
Never made a stand
Born to avenge
Died in attempt
The lives I scavenged
I might have just lent
In this specific day and age
I seem to have been changed
I fear this newfound empathy
In need of remedy
Will this ever end?
Born to avenge
Died in attempt
The lives I scavenged
I might have just lent
I am ceasing to be reckless
My ambitions were infected
By myself
I am failing to see clearly
Am I maybe more than merely
A scavenger?
Born to avenge
Died in attempt
The lives I scavenged
I might have just lent
A long-forgotten avenue
That no one's passing through
Has now become my last resort
From voices that once roared
Are they muted now?
