I Shall Collaborate With You - Why

Clouds weep sending down vapour to mother earth
trying to quench the fires of self destruction
beheld, time lost to a cruel master
igniting lines, fused in delusion

Dreams cast forth in fervent storms
ideals left, now an uncontrollable rage
mountains moved, flattened by stupidity
rivers ruined, overflown with blood and guts

Tonight the lonely wolf howls at an empty moon
a barren heart, tossed with a lust for greed
beating down a trodden path, barely holding on
where serpents slip on up through the grass

Lay down the swords of battles gone awry
Arise with the sparrows or alone we shall die
