Long Gone
Dustin Branum 1985 (South Carolina)
salvation cannot be found in a book with no answers written by dictators and manipulators
it can only be found within the depth of a broken soul no longer willing to maintain control
and the truth shall not come from the mouth of liars
and cannot be infringed by earthly desires
Revenge might be his but retaliation is ours
The war cannot be won with swords or guns
You cannot win a battle that hasn't begun
And failure is inevitable
resistance is futile
And evil will prevail when it's Earth turns to hell
But the noble and just the innocent and robust
Will be long gone before the end begins
