Blinded by sanity
Disfigured by prudence
The mandate is spoken
Swift and violent action
Virulent in nature
To the lament of the wise
Under a false flag they proclaim
A facade in your best interests
For safety quickly flees
Without a protector
And sanity flees
The aftermath of tragedy
Security is but an illusion
Self interest a rule
In the darkest reaches of our mind
It is not the fear of steel and lead we feel
Those lies we feed ourselves
The candy of fools
We fear the age old monster
Born in the heirloom of violence
For the beast within
And the beast from without
Whatever weapon at hand
It is always the same
It is always man
Paradox
