Analysis of A Burned Out Life
May all you gained
be yours with your losses.
Extinguish the light of your brains
in the darkness of your veils.
Fight for slavery, fight for ignorance.
Before you stood on your knees
in the presence of your enemies,
your God was our God.
Now you worship your
burned out beliefs.
