For We Are Many

layers upon layers 
the amount of blood we've shed for this 
we have proved wrong several prophecies of these hysterical soothsayers 
rumors upon rumors, ‘tis true that we received that dreadful deathly kiss 
yes, ‘tis true that we are many 
many of similar ways 
yet in the end, the closing of an age; a revered leader we cannot reveal any 
however an end cannot be achieved at the first phase 
we bleed for the cause 
in all technicality the cause not so much an ideal in itself, but the means for the end 
and we are the gauze 
we cleanse the tainted and protect the secrets we took an oath to defend 
we are the actors within the play 
but don't misunderstand, this play is not pretend 
we are the pawns made of clay 
we will die for the cause, and yes we know that we'll surely melt in the heat of the day 
we are meek 
and we are mild 
what we seek 
is to calm the child 
that cries out in fear, because his mother has melted, and his father has faded away.
