The Choir Invisible

We are, the ones you fear, breakers of your grand illusion

Exiled, dispossessed, your sown-seeds reaped and left abandoned

God forsaken, left adrift, detritus ripped and torn asunder

Shunned like, rodent hordes, human lives that wane and wander

You said, “never again”…does that keep your conscious clean?

We are disposable, the choir invisible

The last in line to join, the choir invisible

We flee, blight and filth, so far beyond your gates and walls

Nameless, namenlos, unknown, innominado - naught!

Exiled, souls detested, so riven with abject despair

Blanks stares, open mouths, our stifled screams you’ll never hear

Toss, the coin, we wait our turn, until the boatman calls

We are disposable, the choir invisible

The last in line to join, the choir invisible

…down to the afterworld

Sinking, we slip into the black, of our briny grave

We die (just another tick on your news feed)

Wailing, such a mournful sound, underneath the waves

Dragged…into the deep

We are disposable, the choir invisible

The last in line to join, the choir invisible

…down to the afterworld
