Lonely Man in a Desperate Land

Lonely Man in a Desperate Land

A Poem by Silent Sonata

In the darkened house

Doused in gasoline

His grin is slow

And the fire will glow

 

He’s a lonely man in a desperate land

Watch him run

Oh, watch him hide

He’s a broken man in a burning land

See his gun

Oh, hear them die

 

In his rubble town

He wears a blackened crown

See him through his phase

And watch it through the haze

 

He’s a lonely man in a desperate land

Watch him fly

Oh, so ever high

He’s a broken man in a burning land

Ignore their cries

Jus’ let ‘em die

 

Bring him to town

And show him around

Then see him kill

That media thrill

 

He’s a lonely man from a desperate land

Patch him up

Treat him kind

He’s a broken man from a burning land

Lock him up

That radical mind

 

He’s lived through pain

He can’t sustain

Inflicted by you

The hurt only grew

 

Exterminate

Eliminate

Eradicate his kind

 

And tell them they deserved it

Jus’ break their healing minds

 

They’re lonely men from desperate lands

Feed them pain

Don’t hear their cries

They’re broken men from burning lands

Create the stain

And tell them lies
