Lose Our Wings

written by: charlie

All I feel is blood
Seeping through my brain
Trying to keep myself
From going insane.
A little boy running
From his enemies
Shadows on horses
Is all he sees.
With his baby sister
Clutched close to his heart
In a world before him
Suddenly torn apart.
Looking for his mother
Whose cries still ring in his ears
As the world watches on
Without a care.
And everywhere he runs
Blood stains the sand
With Death stalking him
Trying to be a man.
Looking for his mother
Cause he's all alone
But he doesn't understand
That she's already gone.
So what do you do
With a brother like him?
Trapped in a world
Where his existence is a sin.
Please God tell me what boy
Has enemies?
And I'll show you a world
Where you're on your knees.
For letting us animals
Commit genocide
Where are the angels?
When we need them to fly.
God give me hope
To live another day
Before I join the gangs of Hell
And make everyone pay.
With the wrath that boils
Deep in my heart
Covering the suffering
In a world torn apart.

So give me a reason
Not to explode
Curse out profanities
Until the world starts to unfold.
Are you listening to the words
That shoot from my heart
Or are you fucking yourself?
And playing the part.
Cause there's no prediction
On my actions right now
The world will reap
The wrath that I sow.
I'll set a blaze to the world
And shake it violently
Is that what it will take
To make you all see?
That there are baby kids
Being plowed down like grass
A life born into a world
Not made to last.
Tell my why the world
Doesn't do a thing?
But watch us helplessly
Lose our wings.
And all I feel is the pain
That circulates on earth
My fate foretold
I've been cursed at birth.
And I ask myself when
The sun opens my eyes
Is life worth living
Or is it time for me to die?
Cause I'm convinced
Life is better where the grass is green
And the water so blue
It just sparkles and gleams.
Where the stars at night
Shine bright with light
Close enough for me to grab
Without a fight.
But my life is foretold
In a tale of our miseries
Not afraid to unleash
My love for humanity.
