The echoes reverberate, bouncing off distant walls like little rubber balls
Until they slowly conjugate into a meaning that’s leaning towards sanity
Dripping with profanity, as it slides inside my mind with its insidious intent
Hell bent on...

The rain is falling down on me,
I’m standing barefoot on the battlefield,
The blood is frozen in my veins – the blind fear,

And all I hear them scream.
I fight for...

Beaten and thirsty,hanging there,
The angry crowd did not care,
