Everyones Dead

Before death I stand, inside a hallway of enduring shame not waiting on judgement, for there is none for such crimes, just abandoned forever pondering worthlessness, Everyone’s dead Butchered in narrow streets, along Jerusalem way slaughtered countless men women children, No prisoners taken, mere heretics massacred one and all Our crusade was sanctioned, Everyone’s dead Shame on me, shame on you, giving such an order we came to the holy Sepulchre dripping in blood weeping laughing, giving thanks for our victory, Everyone’s dead Let us kneel before god, we are your champions But god was not here, nor walking amongst us Killers, murderers, interlopers, alone we stood Drenched in the stench of euphoric delusion, Everyone’s dead Raising the cross on the dome of the rock, we rejoiced Oh god! what did we rejoice, our hatred, our love, What is love, sadistic love, crusaders love, for the love of god There is no love, we massacred them all, ....everyone’s dead Take back Jerusalem Urban said You do gods work Urban said Guardians of the peace Urban said My god give me this day Urban said You avert the apocalypse of man We all hailed and cheered his sanitised version Now everyone’s dead.
