Broken

Darkness fills this world to the seems

Nightmares are no longer the thing of dreams

The pain that it causes runs so deep

It looks like all light, away, has seeped

Each day more die for worthless pursuits

Hoping that violence will produce lasting fruits

Bullets rain down and hate takes wing

And we all start to learn why the caged bird sings

The lies we believe choke our reality

Isolating ourselves causing collective depravity

Broken people crumbling to dust

Consumed by gods of pride, envy, and lust

Hope is fleeing from terrors of the night

Looking for relief, but finding poisoned light

Vanguards killing those they protect

From labors of life and love they defect

Knees bloody and broken from hallow prayers

Seeking freedom from worldly affairs 

Beat down to the point of utter desperation 

But this total surrender might prevent damnation

A guide wading to us through the mire

Voice of rushing water, eye of fire

The darkness burns within his gaze

My tounge can't help but utter his praise

The blood he gave will give us life

Eternatly secure, but filled with strife

The flesh still writhes against my soul

But I know I am destined to be whole
