Humanity Reaps Our Own

Another day dawns for the innocent, 
woe to the ones who tremor in the sun 
Whose deeds are forgotten 
time goes on 

Leaving despair, with which you must bare 
Burdens greater than sin can stand for 
Greater than the ones we believed we cared for 
Greater than the rights that we must share, 

for though Jesus said to have spared man's soul 
Man said to have reaped what another sowed 

To have burnt his brother and dug a hole 
Where lives taken, are to be sowed 
Humanity now reaps our own.
