"Suffering of the Masses"

when i die. your life is made up of contradiction and ignorance. if you were more educated you wouldn't have turned out like this, so i'm here to show you the right way. it's not a revolution to destinize your compassion for human existence. i have something more important. when you die, your beliefs lose all meaning. you're left with no excuse, no one to prosecute. when i die, i live. i have an unchanging, non failing life and i refuse to let your false sense of justice leave me nothin when i die.

suffering of the masses. as the world is flooded with black, a fire burns to light a shapeless path. the masses cry out and plea for help. their voices ring for everyone to hear, and those left raise their voices to say we are few but we are strong. behind silent walls i hear their screams. i hear them cry out, i hear their screams behind silent walls. i hold this life in my hands, its head falls back to exhale a last breath. what has happened here?

broken bonds. what have i done? you were such a friend. i tore this bond apart. i need you back. i've broke the bond that made us strong. i took a knife, and cut you from my life. regret, remorse, i want to erase. a plea for you friendship, spoken to your face. wait, come back to me, wait, come back to my life. wait, accept my apology. wait, receive my forgiveness. help me relieve, the tension on our lives. try to forget, the evil in the past. ment these broken bonds, mend these broken bonds. i've lied to your face, stabbed you in the back. i'm helpless without your presence. wait, come back to my life. come back to my life. i need you back, i need you back. back in my life.

homicide. children sacrificed. millions die everday. money hungry killers wasting life away. something must be done. action must be taken. i bleed in sympathy for the aborted and forsaken. KILLER. this is the source of my hate. this is the match that starts the flame, and it's burning me up inside. children are tested in labs as well. what have they done to deserve this hell. my flesh wants to kill you for what you have done. but instead i'll educate you on your pathetic occupation. a beating heart, treated like a worthless piece of trash. i hate what you're doin, and i will not let it last. KILLER.

enraged. enraged with anger. so sick of the society. what have we come to? this world is strangling itself. angered by the actions of the militant. i try to love. but i can't see past your actions. i try to understand, but i can't. i can't see. i can't understand. i can't understand your actions. i can't understand, hold my hand through the darkness. the everlasting darkness. i can't understand, hold my hand. i can't understand.

neglected. neglected the apathy begins at birth. the absolute detruction of ones self worth. when father comes home, the closet becomes a refuge and the drinking increases the abuse. this life-style of mindlessness must end before this madness receives acceptance. bruised arms and legs fill the bodies of young children who do nothing but hide innocently in attempt to avoid their insanity. stop, stop, stop the abuse. this life-style of mindlessness must end before this madness receives acceptance.

no return. a spark ignites, and grows into a flame. an eruption of anger an outburst of pain. i drag myself from the engulfed wreckage that lays behind. never to return, never to compromise. the truth that lies within me will save me from these lies, this predominance is the eminence over my life, to put to rest this anguish. decipher this strife. the intuitive mind of the arrow never broke apart. unwanted act, time to react? the intuitive mind of the arrow. this desperation is a reality to those who are lost inside. this false hope given fromt he world results in an unfaithful guide. the chance to survive will end.

upright. erase the feeling. break apart from fear. stand up to your controller. you can't regulate me. i won't take this frustration. i've got my self liberation. break down the walls that block your line of sight, so you can do what's right. you'll fall, but i'll remain upright. you are wrong and i am right. you continue to hate and you make another kill. the innocent blood that will spill. a life of pain filled with emotional strain. you'll fall, but i'll remain upright. you are wrong and i am right. you've tried to prove me wrong once before- and i've done my best to ignore your accusations. but this time you've gone too far. you've stepped into my life. and now you can't stop me from being real. this is reality. and you are wrong. you can kick me to the ground or get your friends to gather around. i will stand up to your fist, and innocent glance you twist. i am right. you are wrong. you'll fall, but i'll remain upright. you are wrong and i am right.

deception. deception. as i pass through your eyes of judgement you make speculations about my life. you make yourself believe that what you think is real. innocent. and you still pass judgement. when you think are alone, i know just what you think and i hope the silence makes your ears ring. RING. look at yourself before you look at me. don't persecute me. look at yourself before you look to persecute. innocent and you still pass judgement.
