Analysis of The Truth (1of 2)
As a people, we should "step back"
To see why they hate us to death
That they want us dead...
Whatever the cost to them, and
However they want it done.
And "stepping back" is knowing why
They don't mind blowing themselves
In bloody mess along with a bunch or crowd.
They believe that as they send us to Hell,
They head straight up to Kingdom come.
Why they are, who they are to us
Is because they feel that our bullish
Standing by "them" is to blame for all
The destructive and bloody spoils
Of war and death.
