Sound Of Violence

Our killing spree of violence

Spreads further away

Inevitable, unstoppable

We'll never go away

Until we've killed their kin

A fight we cannot win

We are willingly prepared to sacrifice

The lives of those we love

What unforgivable bitterness has driven us

Into this incomprehensive cause

Love will die

Where hatred thrives

The silent side of violence

Comes closer every day

Invisible, unstoppable

They will not go away

Until they've taken what is ours

Until they've killed our kin

A fight they'll never win

A sudden flashback in time and memory

Silence, for a second

The world seems to hold it's breath

Like a child pauses before bursting into crying

And then...

In the largest gust of sound ever imaginable

I am overwhelmed

By the rolling laughter of hatred

The howling of sirens

Resounded with the crying

Of men, women and children

In turn in despair

For a comforting word

A familiar face

But all I find are strangers

From far beyond my darkest dreams

How will I ever forget their faces?

Why am I supposed to fight

A foe I did not choose

What good are games without an end

In which one only lose

This never-ending hate of ours

Will tear this world apart

Until eventually the beating stops

The beating of our hearts
