The Beast and the Healer
Fire! Thunder! Lightning! Rain!
The Beast is approaching
We’ve come here for fame
Firefights flashing
For victory or shame
Stray bullets roaming
They search for a name
I feel the ground shaking
The snipers take aim
Auditory vibrations
Echoes from the grave
Oh Father who art in Heaven,
Save us this day!
Blasts cascading!
Explosive points made…
IT’S COMING!! FIRE! FIRE AT WILL!!
THE TIME HAS NOW COME TO KILL OR BE KILLED!!
Blood seeps from the ground
Dead bodies are floating
Pools of death
The prophets are screaming
The sky goes dark
The wind has stopped blowing
I look at my chest
I see that I’m bleeding
Doctor, DOCTOR! SAVE ME…I’m pleading!!
This wound is too deep
These hills are too steep
We all feared the day
We were slaughtered like sheep
This vessel is broken
This wound sits wide open
Recall to yourselves
The words that were spoken
When will it fall?
Why are we failing?
How is it winning?
God take me!
I'M FADING!!
