one face

seranade me
with the antiquities of our lost youth
bring me absolotion
lay down
baring our bodies our souls
to the heaven's judgment
ah yes we have sinned
we have sinned horribly
witnessed genocide
all we did was sit by
all we could do was cry
we became jaded
the clarity gave to us in youth faded
are these signs of times to come
a future where we all have one face
the same face
the only one we can wear in public
toxic fumes from our divine intervention rotting our lungs
war's left over waste
homes torn apart broken hearts
trying to make amends
losing the fight
leaving us all with one face the same face MJR 2009
