What Have We Become

A whirlwind of sorrow 
Passes through the destruction of man
Along through the lies of our forefathers
To the filth which we deny

Our lies have drowned our own words
To the point of poisoning our freedom

We have truths 
Which are truly lies

And find comfort
In what other prove to be a smack in the face
For humanity

By the point of no return
The whirlwind of sorrow
Carries on
Through the destruction of man
