"end It All"

A simple grave, a marker in time Not in the ground, but your very mind A complex riddle, woven into life To see a dawn, of crimson tides Not from a sunrise, but shattered lives A woman stands, her hands held high To praise her captor, that one that holds her Not a man, nor a woman A society watches, impious and unjust Not to offer aid, not to do what it must Every deity is wrong, every faith is misplaced Every man a slave, every woman a servant No government uncorrupt, no leader correct No love to follow, no heart to mend In the end we fall, in the end we falter In the beginning we had a chance In the beginning we had hope Tomorrow is our last day Today we gave up Yesterday we still had a chance
