Analysis of Man
They give you your gold medal,
For you victory in war.
But how much people perished
For this golden prize of yours?
Can you tell me the amount,
How much love has been lost?
How much dreams have been broken,
How much pain you have caused?
How much people have you tricked
To bow hero on your heels
I’ll let everybody know,
That their hero isn’t real.
Still you bask in all you pride
And the gods will not be pleased
They will not send you to hell,
But inside, they’ll make you bleed
For you know no hero lies,
Deep within your coward hide.
For this hero isn’t real,
And the demon is revealed.
