Still

The bough breaks
through silence
Are you listening
 what sounds like shrieking,
it's actually
people cheering
their souls signed away
for cheap thrills
for words that dissolve in thin air
Words, promises
Empty

Howling wolves;
fumbling Judas
So ignorant and blinded
Living off ambition and defeat
So wipe away the blood
from the side of your mouth
and prepare yourself for the grave you've dug
twelve feet underground
trying to conceal
the blood thirsty vampire you keep hidden
behind the fear you inject into us
like a shot straight from Kavorkian's hand
killing the sick, the weak, and impoverished
Wickedness is your magic,
go ahead,
Wave your wand around some more

Words,
dripping with the heavy stench
Lies told to manipulate
us all like tiny marionettes
Are you listening?
Can you hear?
the marketplace bubbling in anger
As they judge Truth to the death
Illusion smiles in approval
These animals fangs,
have once again been revealed

Evil sheilds itself
from the brightness of day
by taking the most innocent
slaughtering them away
Disguised you come
like a worn out, aged, man
holding a deadly baby
The devil''s right hand

Look up! I scream
Do not be entranced
by his magic wand,
nor by the babe, the words,
Diabolical plans
Look up! i scream
Awake from this death
that has enzombied a nation
whose pride has sentenced us all
to this gruesome sentence

Are you listening?
do you hear?
the howling wolves
preparing for their evening meals
Look up!
Once more, I scream in desperation
Do you not see the man whom you've sent to die
is our only Hope,
our only way out of this self imposed death

But once again the shrieking noise fills my ears
the bough breaks,
earth quakes
time stops, our time is up
Pay your debt
Weren't you listening as I screamed
Look up, look up
