"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
