the flame burnt inside
I looked into the mirror
and the truth stared back
it told me I was sold a lie
with all the words society was feed
a contradiction to the truth
bound by the psychological chains of control
I watched as paradise burned
and the seeds of dissent grew
freedoms flame inside was born
a darken plague had besieged us
a caged man only sees darkness
and I wanted to bring light back to the dark
to blind the pyramid's eye
to end this living nightmare
in my thinking I was not alone
so together we all stood
because for way too long
we mindlessly stared into the abyss
and the abyss just stared back
minds freedom had flown away on a buzzards wing
so as one we rose to answer the call
"united we stand, divided we fall" we would chant
as we marched onwards to watch
the eyes kingdom crumble and fall
we smelt the vengeance in the air
so we stormed the eyes palace on high
with its walls of shiny gold
it floors of marble bold
and saw the irony of the eyes call
the contradiction soured my stomachs waste
we fought for what was right
and fought to live in paradise once more
and when man has nothing to risk
then man has nothing to loose
the gain is the greater then the pain
our makeshift weapons
seemed no match to their technology
but the might of a broken soul
strengthens the warriors heart that beat within
no surrender from the brave and bold
the battle raged and seem to have no end
and blood flowed from the veins of both
but the stronger the warriors hearts beat
their resolve grew a mightier might
we could see the eye`s crowns falling
on their knees they did kneel
and we saw their vulnerability
as their tears flowed like the blood
that dripped from their naked hands
they saw day became a starless night
for many of us saw the angels bell
now they live on as gods and martyrs
in this world we fought to reclaim
a land that now burns with freedoms flame
now the ones who feed at the feast
will feast no more
