Venomous Lies

Crooked spine
And hobbled feet
Corrupted mind
Thoughts incomplete  
Blood red eyes
And a forked tongue  
Venomous lies  
Told to the young
Evil hatred spread
Wicked and twisted
Army of the dead
In shadows existed
Coming for our souls
Coming for our lives
Absolute control
Hate sharpened knives
With hearts unopened
And minds closed down
Consumed by smoke and
Mirrors we drown
Promised a future
Promised a life
Instead we're sutured
Concealing our strife
No chance to heal
We're poisoned by
The pain we feel
And venomous lies
Searching for closure  
From history rewrote
Escaping exposure  
There's no antidote
