Rivers of Blood

With every senseless death We slip into the underworld And unwittingly fertilize the earth To grow and cultivate even more hatred We’re all in a syringe Crushed under this global empire Driving the needle of revenge To suck life-giving blood like vampires Have you seen hell...? It’s the colour you read And with every drop we spill We paint its dark walls and corridors red He’s giving himself a facelift And renovating his dungeon Not seen since the holocaust With new blood and fresh souls to condemn How many must lay soaking the ground As the demons dance in the rain? Just today feeding the underground With the lives of innocent God’s children In search of humanity’s main vein To supply the rivers of blood Drying up with peaceful reign Open the floodgates so peace and love can flood 07-20-2015
