Beware the Carnivorous Gods
In dark and light they dwell.
Not in holes, but above ground.
Their smiles and bodies a shell.
Some move without sound,
Others with words astound.
Hearts full of facades,
Us they surround.
Beware the carnivorous gods.
Lies and hate they expel.
For impurity renowned,
Their tongues like fire from hell,
Their crimes abound,
Justice unfound.
Forming their squads,
An attack is inbound.
Beware the carnivorous gods.
In fear, not a soul will tell.
The alarm unsound,
Death will cast his spell.
Reason run aground,
Truth uncrowned.
Mankind at odds,
With hate bound.
Beware the carnivorous gods.
I say, stand your ground!
Bend not to their rods,
Let truth resound.
Beware the carnivorous gods.
