Evermore

In the depths of bloodied water Laying in the sludge of misunderstanding Where the mud of history buries itself War awaits us all Disguised and deeply present Buried in the marrow of timeless sentiment Hidden in the sediment of vile undertakers Employing the caskets of our children To testify in shallow graves and markers of hate War is the ghoul of our fallacious goodwill The pacemaker of our alienated heartbeats The vision of our counterfeit purpose The throttle of our fearful lives Running off the energy of ignorance No longer can I wait To cross a peaceful shore Nevermore, nevermore Evermore
