Conflict Fatality

Conflict Fatality

Death awaits us
There is no escaping it
No avoiding it
It is the all consuming inevitability that haunts us all
We may choose to run and hide but there is no safe place
No haven
No sanctuary
It will find you

Some of us choose to accept and even embrace death
Welcoming it with open arms
Even now
Someone is seeking an exit
From the ravenous vicious circle of their existence
Their life

Someone right now is taking arms against a sea of troubles
And in opposing
Ending them

I will not sit idly by and wait for the inescapable
I won't be a subject of the tortures of humanities flaws
When my body dies
I will live on
I will always fight
I will never back down

Fate is just a word created to keep us in line
One day all will be clear
The evils of man released
And when they attack
I won't let them consume me
I will fight back!
I will be at the front line
Fighting for my beliefs
And my brother with be at my side
To strengthen me
Motivate me
Push me to my limits

Judgment day draws near
And when it comes
Where will you be?
Will you take arms?
And fight for what's right
Or will you step aside and become meat puppets?
The choice is yours.
