The Standard
Lead strapped vest
Full-blown chest
A situation, confrontation
Disgruntled aggravation
Chambers crack
The sound of death laughing
Sudden impact
Face peeled back
Wrong way turn
Down train tracks
Could have stayed home
Life went too far
Madmen linger
With broken hope
Dead men wait
Gnawing on starvation
A just man
With no salvation
Escalated motive
One must survive
Cost to live
More than some can give
