Shotgun beaten

face covered in blood

cracks in skull

running through the swamp

swimming from these hounds

dogs got my scent.

Hiding for freedom

don't matter state of innocence

blood of me is justice

for crimes I didn't commit.

All these witnesses

don't really want me dead.

With no appeal I'm bound

to be strapped down and needled

the life in me stopped.

A black hole of freedom

doesn't sound good.

I'll die just to breathe.

So how can we cower and tremble?

What we've seen is trying to tell something.

How can I stay complacent and bow down now?

            Wicker Flame

look up and heaven's burning

to the ground, ground.

Cry one more sound.

Then watch these pillars burn.

Hanging from the wires

with too many reasons, too few wrongs.

Mad hatter to enlightenment.

Silent

Violent howl

A politician for way side men

So I agree to bleed.

Same state as yesterday

and I slave today.

Why so many pains?

Why so many pains?

Starving people I bleed for you.
