Few Words Fore the Light

Has it really, really come to this Lord?
That you demonstrate your earthly failure
Through the use of a sacrificial sword
Worse through proclamation in a brochure.

We stare down the barrel of a bottle
In darkness we gaze at the pledge maker
Answer the question fore the rising sun
The last thought fore we meet our caretaker.
