O Lord of plunder, ask thy self,
Why thou was once divine.
Once a hero now a lie,
And your land now withered dry.
In every promise, justify;
While the land and seas divide.
Left your sons to writhe and die.
Damned their souls to cry.
My Lusty king, what have you done?
Thy kingdom’s babies born with guns.
Innocence, a child of yesterday.
The weight of the crown, you’ll see,
Bury your land in greed.
The weight of the crown you’ll see,
Will crush you underneath.
A Blackened charm for the blood red lips,
Trapped forever from the serpent’s kiss.
Like falling deep into a dark abyss…
A shot in the heart and I feel,
The wicked punch of the steel.
And down to the ground I fall
Never to rise again.
Crawling in myself and pray
Wishing for redemption day.
Wishing for salvation from within…
And Now I ask thy kingdom come,
To set us free and fly.
I lay there wondering what’s to come
I close my eyes and cry.
Oh my king I beg for answers,
Of this cause may people die.
While your crown lies heavy on your throne,
Thy face just gleams with pride.
As I lay under sorrowed skies,
Raining down with people’s lies,
Embrace my fate and alleviate
My soul from pain to a higher place,
Still wishing for Salvation from within…
Still wishing for redemption day...

having recently made fun of the matrix and gotten into an argument with an avid matrix fan, let me say that i went back and read your full wayside hero story and genuinely enjoyed it. :)

Embrace my fate and alleviate
My soul from pain to a higher place,
Still wishing for Salvation from within…
Still wishing for redemption day...
