Lamentations For Immunity
Is it that we are blind?
Cloistered, locked from our mind?
Is it the shadow of our light
That threw away the left of right?
Is it the gold of many?
The lust of the unpure?
Who forgot we were free?
Blame this sugar-coated lure
Gray and brown and never red
This is where humanity's led
Is it unavoidable, denied from escape?
Is there a gate, a virgin landscape?
We are not blind, there is a sight
A concealed source of colored light
Under the layers of steel and gore
Quest for Immunity, lament of the core
