Breeding

Breeding games so often played
Objective to dominate the same
Lies in, lies out, and outward in
Premeditating, over-contemplating, building skin
Outside the circle creating anew
Unaware of what's pushing through
Hiding, lying, denying, trying to make
Self-made conditions out of mistakes
Belief a word so unconscious to
Murderous ways this faith untrue
Blindness, security, comfortable life
Walking days, the death disguised
Nothing true or sacred, nothing whole
Pieces and fragments of an empty soul
Shame the excuse for a life un-lived
Religion of fear masked as bliss
Sin, ignorance, rape, decay and love
Dream one day there would be enough
Hiding from beauty, running from light
How many ways can we steal the days
Burn the witches, destroy the gods
Crown and crucify, innocence of the child
Make a life from endless words
Kill any truth you may have heard
Lie with eyes that deceive yourself
Live a life so full of no one else
Betray anything you ever loved
Believe you could rise above
Rape the one who gave you life
Rape the sun and her light
Burn the ears of those who hear truth
Live to make them just like you
Destroy the spirits of saints and children
Destroy their beliefs in hell and heaven
Manipulate truth with weight of lies
Become all that you have despised
Make this world a reflection of you
Know its what you dreamt to do, then make it true
I spit blood at your ignorance, and pity your life
When its come to this, in me, there is no right
You can never take my power to see
You can not have my faith or my will to be
Flight is mine and for all who believe
What I want, and what I need will always be free
