icons have fallen

The icons have fallen. 
Watching them burn
Feeling their insanity
The neon turns
The lies are sullen 
They have sold their souls 
The media for the masses 
They wear the crowns
They hang upon the crosses 
They beg and plead 
The prayers are insane 
Inscribed upon a liar's brow
The icons have fallen 
The stadium is in silence
Feeling the hum of the fluorescence
The cracked and ruined ground 
Watching the falling bodies
The night is interrupted 
The gods are gone
The media & the world of wars
The icons have fallen
