Blood Warm

I know not your will our pain suffer 
tear soaked ground 
Fill with empty coffins of decaying past, 
no one's home; soul gone away 
Vulgaris society like yesterday's dreams 
Hatred killing blood shed streets run 
Love no more, independence of oneself 

Is it not ourselves we save our own 
Bones wasting away six deep in 
Is it not of diversity we pull strength 
Everything we kill we wipe DNA to life 
What is purpose if we abandon reason 

Once a nation founded on moral respect 
Bitten by snake's venom piercing blood warm veins 
Does a one not hate of their own accord, 
despising everything good 
Are we better ancestors, same battle since dawn 
Good vs evil, war only you make difference outcome 
Blood warm, resurrection Jesus; infinite mind to peace
