Burning the Bridge

Originally written as a song accompanied by a 12-String Acoustic Guitar

Burning the bridge to sanity, 

excess in humanity, 

gutter speak of calamity. 

Hatred runs wild with unchecked velocity. 

Progress hindered by countless atrocities

 

Welcome to garden of greed, 

deeply planted armageddon seed, 

corrupt indoctrinated society. 

Minds closed to the possibilities.

 

The government prays, a dark resounding, 

answered by the military industry. 

Lives are seized, exploited and torn, 

expended by the corporate machine.

 

Poison the earth, bleed the psyche, 

sow destruction of integrity. 

A blood red moon beckons the eyes, 

reflecting animosity.

 

Pitch black retreat, twilight's reprise, 

from a burning sun bled crimson skies, 

left to rot in half truths and lies... 

on deaf ears fall your Alibi.

 

The emptiness that is killing you, 

was the emptiness that was killing me. 

The soul awakes as the body dies, 

eternity grounds, infinity flies.
