War Lord

war lord
how do you sleep 
at night 
knowing that another 
child will be gone 
the next day 

how do you feel 
turning the youth 
to thugs 

what do you see 
when you look 
into the mirror

cos your existence
will always be our 
nightmare

who do you call
when you pray 

to who you gave
thanks 
when you slay a soul 

how do you feel 
watching people
dying

what makes you 
smile in destruction

have you seen
what is becoming
of the third world 
countries nowadays

so tell me how 
 proud are you 

tell the world 
they really need 
your answers to this 
quest out there oh 
war lord
