Moving as fast as my legs can take,
I run deeper into the hills meadows,
knowing the task i have to but undertake,
not wanting to return to the mental gallows.

Forsaken i am by the mirror,
eternal pessimist i was called by his friend,
his future not secure till i was near,
this facade ofbeingrealistic had to but end.

Heard him cursing himself the other day,
thought i saw a tear run down his cheek,
wondered if i really was keeping his success at bay,
giving him a big complex of inferiority.

Deciding to rid him off the mental pain,...

Washed in blood of the brave and encouraging,
snatching at the alters, lives of insolent foes,
consumed in a scorching fear, ever burning,
even then flashing shamelessly its virtuous vows.

Vainly the prophets would rend it,
in vain its worshipers would pray for its fall,
millions shattered, thousands died for it,
under a pretense of justice and mercy for all.

Justice had but darkened the sky with fear,
god over god it was all over again,
malevolent "mercy" mankind could not bear,
Sabre against Sabre in an everlasting chain.
