No Rhyme, No Song

For I have not anything of any worth if what you desire is to rule the earth.

I have no blood I’m prepared to spill for your quest of evil, I shall do no kill.

I have no time of precious life to lend to your madness for gun and knife.

I have no rhyme, I have no song to write for you and for what you’ve become.
