If I keep watching the news

Keep drinking the water, going to school

Keep pumping fuel, lauding fodder

Who is praising the father who's killing his sons

It will all come undone, all to an end

These forgettable ghosts

Regret perpetual refuse

Gaze upon the assembly line

Until they withdrew, watched them all die

The more is said of light

Its blinding ecstasy

Compels a will to fight

Complacent sick to kill me

Forced we are to sit

Hear our master speak

Conscience to forfeit

Still and let them wreak

Words so bleak, first adhered

Couldn't take, head is reared

To this end, we still pretend

Go unchallenged, toss off balance

Doomed are the read

Sight never holds the ravaged past

Burning, pouring will reach the end intact

Ruler word take beyond any reach

Insight forming into prophet ally

Show the dead face, behind its dead mask

Hidden its final resting place

So they'll never take it back

Granted subjects, breeding property

Harbors its rage for life not in fear

Not owned, will not endear

To refuse its call is to ask for death

Otherwise, suck you dry

You be its medicine

A pawn to serve its will

An idol to the dying

Choose and either way

You face imposing force

No harm, live out your days

Or live its deadly force impending

Give up, hold out

End of your time

Can't escape this offer
