The Door

Black sorrow sadness, like frostbitten carnations 
Bolts of lightning tears apart all our nations
Greed and hatred leads the way
The peaceful white dove burned all grey

Ancient leaders take control 
Raging fires of hate consumes the soul 
Day to day corruption rule 
They all think we are a fool

Borders opened and evils enter 
The greatest fool right at the center
Our legacy is what they remember 
They forget about what happens in December. 

The King is lost and riots cruel
The hungry dogs wait and drool
Idols made of worthless men
While they lived in their golden den

Peoples rights need to be restore
Evil must be showed the door
