To get to these deaths,
And trillions of tears.
How many last breaths
Before mercy appears
And executioners rest?
No one will fire the gun
That brings the bloody end.
But they all become one -
They can't be sane again .
The figureheads rule cruel,
As the voters' will demands,
Until their time comes 'round
And shackles are on their hands.
The son died so we could live.
The prophet says God will forgive.
Do their followers forget?
What has become of grace?
Can no one pay out a debt?
Where's justice in time and space?
Billions of years
To get to these deaths,
And trillions of tears.
How many last breaths
Before
it’s God whom we fear
And the merciful are blessed?
