All this carnage
So much madness
When the dogs are barking
When the butchers come
Wielding carnal sadness

Bloody red rivers
Crushing runs
Hordes of chagrin
Grim men with guns
Those cannibal warriors
Consuming grinning innocence
Devouring nature and saviours
Lobbing pestilence and bombs
Crashing tempestuous borders
Tearing at our bleeding hearts
Shredding any remaining decency
Dreading every reticent everything
So this is what we've become
Is it just those malicious few of us
Or is it Maleficent in everyone
Dishonest madness has gripped us
Clenching dreams 
Entrenching lives
Giving little with all this fuss
Revoking choice
Advancing death

With a deathly voice
With those needle claws 
We are firmly clasped
Vampire prey
Those lamprey fangs
Those reckless jaws
Sucking precious life
Wrecking the world
Both tooth and nail
We're mucking about
All this trial and error
Gray and frail
Does the world really care
All this unforgivable sadness
Is this really something
We cannot pause
Or can we wake
One glad day
To find war is done
And miraculously
Some brave peace
Has truly come
