The Terror

The terror, murder of the “godless”
To scare, to avenge, to plot,
And punish in the name of idols
Those who won't worship their God.

The terror, weapon of the villains,
The scum that Earth has left behind,
Fanatics, savages unreal,
Who follow tracks of evil guide.

Step on your bones for higher purpose,
All ready for self-sacrifice,
Incapable to grasp that pauper
In spirit – cripple cut to size.

And impotent of the creation –
No curiousity of mind
Their slogan, “kill civilization”
Is louder than build in kind…

Oblivious to victims, proffer
And happy taking lives away,
From all the "infidels", and offer,
"Our God is teaching us that way"…

Insane in their premonitions -
This world was made for those who live –
Regardless of the faith, tradition -
This life, the treasure we receive…

The terror, murder of the "godless"
To scare, to avenge, to plot,
And punish in the name of idols
Those who won't worship their God.
