---

I hear the echoes

Of their mourning grief

Of their screaming rage

Their pounding at my gates

My guards stand ready

Their guns at hand

As my fear takes over

I caw the command

They know they're wrong

But couldn't see another way

Veil of ignorance is fading

But guilt fastens anger

I know I'm wrong

But didn't dare another way

My choices sealed our fate

Pandemonium cries for me

Dead flesh keeps falling

Men, children all alike

But the source is endless

And my bullets are finite

Dull, empty faces

Staring on both sides

My elite, the privileged

Dehumanized
