Finally Alone
Fallen seeds planted upon a hill
Perfectly aligned for the ultimate thrill
Marching to a silent cadence is now the drill
My warmth is frozen, my life was to kill
Called upon to serve, dedicate, and give
Accept death, when all I wanted was to live
But you wouldn't have it and the responsibility was mine
Duty, honor, country, was pounded into my mind
"Remember our special interest that's abroad
Our truly elite that think they're gods
It's for you and yours to die to protect
To kiss our feet out of respect"
"To sacrifice you and yours for our way of life
The seven sins are our way of life
With the promise that you can have all that's left
We know that you'll more than fight to the death"
"When told that our actions also serve you
You've invaded, ravaged, you've really came through
Remember you had your own sins
That you brought with you
Told you were the best
Arrogance, was one of a few
Greed put to a test
But there was more than two
Wrath displayed when you were told
Greed for what we think they hold
Sloth when you should think for self
Gluttony when I've discarded, what I have left"
I know that now lust is gone
I've sacrificed myself serving your throne
After hearing all that was said to me
I've sealed my coffin with, "let me be"
