Analysis of Lost Legions



Stop !
Look !
Listen to the ways of the world
Of all it's complexities
It's overrated
And understated
Those who succeed
Fail by greed
We the prey
We the predator
Pledge allegiance
To the flag of death
And for which it stands
One world
United in the demise
Of humanity
With plague
And suffering
For all !

Eric (and sometimes not)
