Constructing monuments
Just to burn
Building a life
Just to bury it
Designing a better scapegoat
To publicly hang
Weave lies and smoke
Stringing a sturdier rope
Breaking this fast
Of hardship
Fomenting discontent
Giving arms to angry fists
Never known foresight
Eyes blind in hindsight
Seeing red in the present
Future fades black
Soon to soak again
Killing fields overgrown
History marches
Setting to law
The cost of a soul
