the world as of October 2023, one perception of the reality
Lyrics
our reality

this morning saw the sun
through the halos of the clouds
as angels danced the sunbeams
condensending and so proud
yet the heavens wept in terror
that the gods might yet be found
as the demons rode the lightning
and thunder shook the ground
the buildings kept their distance
along the roads that they went down
falling to their destruction
in the violence that is now
and here we kept the peace
in the crypts beneathe our feet
while our mighty war machines
drummed out their marching beats
and here we kept our disease
to infect again as needed
the craving hatred of our we
dreaming alternate realities
this morning saw the guns
in the distance glinting free
reloading ammunition
from the lands beyond belief
and here we kept the peace
in the crypts beneathe our feet
while our mighty war machines
drummed out their marching beats
and here we kept our disease
to infect again as needed
the craving hatred of our we
our nightmares our reality
another year of pretending
that we don't love the wars
another year of defending
the protests for each cause
another year of spending
billions to rearm
another year of blending
profits into more loss
and here we kept the peace
in the crypts beneathe our feet
while our mighty war machines
drummed out their marching beats
and here we kept our disease
to infect again as needed
the craving hatred of our we
our nightmares become reality
yet the air recoiled in terror
the rockets red glare seen
as bombers made their passes
repainting the whole scene
the stars shone down in silence
there was nothing left to be
no joy no hope no love no life
and yet the people couldn't leave
and here we kept the peace
in the crypts beneathe our feet
while our mighty war machines
drummed out their marching beats
and here we kept our disease
to infect again as needed
the craving hatred of our we
our nightmare reality
