Cain's Dream

Set the scene
Ichor flows from pearly whites
Lick them clean what a sour taste indeed
end this century
Bittersweet golden brew
Surely nectar of forbidden fruit
Seeds spit unto the earth
Reap the harvest we're accustomed to
Yet unseen
Viper sows our earthly plights
Constricting fiend what a dour fate received
Rend eventually
Blistered feet, swollen, bruised
Purely vector of war-ridden roots
Deeds an affront to our birth
Weep discarnate tears we must attune
Spiraling staircase crumbles and cracks
Gravity asserts tumble forward into blackness, strike the cold earth or a mattress
Knee-jerk electrical synapses triggering collateral damage
Jealousy, mistrust, displace that fleeting feeling with eons of injustice
Hoist that stone up high for our scions to rehearse it
Defiant to all but the presiders of bloodthirst
Turn inane depraved subservience into

Remorse, Dispassion, Ignorance, Debt
For what purpose? To what end?
Abhorence, Detraction, Petulance, Beset
How can we awaken from a terror we invent?
Divorce, Fracture, Arrogance, Condemed
What happened to the breath of life once in my chest?
War, Famine, Pestilence, Death
I'd scream a warning if I had oxygen left

But this lifewar spread the fire that consumed all
As we gaze impertinent tongues of serpent servants turn tragedy to sideshows
Inescapable pockmarks hallmarks of flame licked landmarks erected by monarchs in throes of rapacity what an eyesore
Gawk until you learn to turn a blind eye as designed so, is this something that you'd die for?
Ask yourself is it pride or the blind leading the blind and binding our hands to weaponry fighting wars of our fathers atonement for sins of forefathers
Hands outstretched in "Our Fathers" hallowed or hollow depends on the type of bombardment, what's carried into tomorrow?
Libraries of lessons and that's what's imparted? Apathy? Despondency? I thought us smarter?
Ooo don't get me started on these fallacies they're so obvious the blind could see and it feels like all we've been doing is rubbing mud and spit into our eyes since the dawn of time without help of the divine, sun-dried out of tears to cry so run the river dry with your

Remorse, Dispassion, Ignorance, Debt
For what purpose? To what end?
Abhorence, Detraction, Petulance, Beset
How can we awaken from a terror we invent?
Divorce, Fracture, Arrogance, Condemed
What happened to the breath of life once in my chest?
War, Famine, Pestilence, Death
I'd scream a warning if I had oxygen left

But I don't its been sold to the highest bidder you know the M O
Re-sell to a bitter people stranglehold upon control
Plenty biting of the hand that feeds and conditioning years of abusive dependence payed the piper to stockholm
Endless sprawl blotting light to those who can't afford rise above
Lavish lifestyles govern those residing down below
Are these ivory towers meant as some sick joke?
Egging us to shed our skin and grow wings made of blood and sweat of our kinfolk
Just to rule as those before?
Access oblivion, wipe the slate clean, humble beginnings, delusion again, its human nature oh Lord how obscene
Foundations of, yet hardly concrete
Take a look at what's been achieved
Impervious fortress to never be reached
meant to protect, you guessed,
corruption and greed
Money's the sword that strikes the hearts
Law is the shield that gaurds the sharks
Who bite and feast and drink from veins of the financially enslaved
Monoliths built on open graves
Acid rain on sinners and saints
Now open your eyes and wake up to the legacy of Cain
