God's Tears





Curse my eyes that they see, blindness would be better
Fill my ears with wax, better to not hear
Let me be no witness to the cruelty of man
Against his brothers and sisters of Life

Blackness and dankness of ‘Death's Heart'
Feed once more by the greed of men, nah beast
Who choose profit over Light and Life,
Those who fuel the lies and ignorance

Despair descends upon me, the loose of a friend
Eyes blinded by tears for a younger light
Not from Fate but from greed is she lost
Cures are too cheap, let's treat and be rich

Shame on them who know and didn't say
Fires of Hell take them and their spawn, seeds of deceit
Blight fall on the doctors for their willful ignorance
May their limbs wither and fall with decay

Yet the blame is on us all, sheep lead to slaughter
Unwilling to question the lies feed like milk, soured tits
“It doesn't concern me” turn a blind eye, deaf ear
God's Tears  What a world this has become
