Red Hand On 4

about

A post-apocalyptic concept.

lyrics

Smoke fills the air
I think about our life before interference was there
But people underestimate the cruelness that we’re capable of
I’m reminded when I see my friends bodies in pieces torn up
Mostly can’t take my mind off how grievance held us

It holds me tight
Won’t let me go
It’s suicide
Behind this scope

The ground is wet
And stained with red
I hear screams through the walls
’Til no life is left

At this point I wonder
How many card games exist
But since the apocalypse
I’d say my brothers only play styx

And still we keep entertained
Because the enemies tied up outside
Get cigarette burns
Depending on how many pop songs they can recite

God help us
What we’ve become
Please save me from
My religion

Of homicide
Please cut these hands
From this wretched beast
Here where I stand

When the offering was lost on us
Every choice became less obvious

So you were born into a battlefield
Well the world before you was a carnival
A war waged against those less treasonous
Bred temperament’s you’re quick to fault

I covet the life born into this war
Your rifle like your brush to canvas
You saw not what prisoners we were before
The second renaissance fell reprimanded

I cling to the sentiment of what you said
“Give me liberty or give me death.”

So honor the land that the left hand has torn
Offer blood until she can’t drink anymore
To die fighting is the only thing we live for
We’re not casualties of
But purveyors of war

Held captive by the shit that fills your head
“How will liberty serve me in my death?”
