Analysis of The Victum
Diamond colored coffins
cutting open souls
Could it be so often!?
An orphan offered up
to the wind
Coughing up blood
Born without love
Drug habits in place of parents
The damage to be done
Slit wrist which already exist
Steady hands for incisions
in the decisions of this world
Underneath the prisons of clouds
screaming load voices
to strike thunder and hunger
to the young and uninvited
uniting the stars falling
Hearts pouring open orbit rain
in the pains spinning dizzy
visiting hell here
A hail storm of verbal abuse
to point fingers and sting us
Conquering spirits
as big as Genghis Khan
(The world speaking to the victims)
"Get a job!"
A whole universe of
mis-judged judges
punching gavilon's
as if we sin not
in grim plots to rot away and hide away
what we've done wrong ourselves
What morsels tossed from a plate to eat
we feed the already suffering!
We too are as the weak...
