Odd Story Iii

Chain made out of candy 
So I Bragg the sweetest,
A good man, just don't mistreat me
Treat me well or miss me.

Clan full of rebels...
Soulless geniuses, what you call that?
Archives for those ancient achievements
Illustrated by artists and writers 
Glyph's to symbols I'm constructing the past; 
to contrasting the rest,
From the dull '60s to the saturated '80s
Man, we strive for revolution,
We move for evolution...

Payment of anti-Semites and unknown legions 
Bombing peace campaigns:
Built by the nations
Congressmen asking kings for higher wages, 
traded souls: The walls of the kingdom,
Crowns of hard cut diamonds:
Broken hearts and hard decisions,
Pope, bishops and ministries as the 
psychologist of the state:
Healing minds through amnesty, 
reconciliation and pardons...

Excuse me!... says the judge,
Casting the portions to dark caves:
Animals, carnivores roaring for prey,
So we pray.
