Analysis of Gallows

There's at least one person in this building who's plotting their government takeover
There's at least one person in this building who will become a star
There's at least one person in this building who wishes to burn the world
And that person is me

There's at least one person in this building who wants to kill all blacks
There's at least one person in this building who wants to kill all whites
There's at least one person in this building who wants to be killed
And that person is me

Because as ash floats in the wind
And smoke billows into my lungs
I'll dance, feet off the ground
Aand while the gallows begin to burn below me
I'll take my first and last flight
Leaving behind the shriveled remains of a broken world
The ashes of a child

The fire dies
And the crows come then
Sorting through the ashes
Growing in number; building their empire in the skulls of buildings
In the bones of civilization
And who will be there to see the iron age of the crows
Just the ash and scorched gallows of a child's dream left untouched
Standing silent
Looming reminders of the brutality of those long passed
