Red Cross
Branded like a weapon of war
All individuality taken and erased
What have I become, forgive me, I implore
Just another soldier, another drone
My very soul is encased
Within a cage of STONE!
I cannot look at myself anymore
I still hear them screaming
Someone save me, please take me I implore
I can’t be the only holy lie
I once thought this land was teeming
With heavens that needed to DIE!
What lies adorn my chest
I’ll repent I’ll try my best
Trust me, not this sign
Please forgive my crime
I slaughtered yes that’s true
But I did it for me and you
My blade carved your name
Into the weak and lame
Please forgive me I had no choice
They removed my soul, they stole my voice
I am not the master of my soul
I lie broken, due to what they stole
My very reason for being
My only way of seeing
They have carved out my eyes
Destroyed my heart and denied me paradise
I feel no pain
I’m insane
A worthless peasant
Humble and repentant
I am now embossed
Scarred and betrayed
THE RED CROSS!
I was fear incarnate
An embodiment of death
I fight but I cannot harm it
The demon within
Stealing every breath
Revelling in sin
(I AM ENSLAVED!)
What terrible madness
Twists a holy book
Into a tome of darkness
A script of lies
Lets you see but forbids you to look
That sows shut your eyes
What lies adorn my chest
I’ll repent I’ll try my best
Trust me, not this sign
Please forgive my crime
I slaughtered yes that’s true
But I did it for me and you
My blade carved your name
Into the weak and lame
Please forgive me I had no choice
They removed my soul, they stole my voice
I am not the master of my soul
I lie broken, due to what they stole
My very reason for being
My only way of seeing
They have carved out my eyes
Destroyed my heart and denied me paradise
I feel no pain
I’m insane
A worthless peasant
Humble and repentant
I am now embossed
Scarred and betrayed
THE RED CROSS!
I can open your eyes
Peel out the needles
Show you where forever dies
And the skulls in the pristine fields
I am the window to death
The fear in every breath
Betrayed I lie forgotten
Fate, leaves me rotten
Unable to heal
Or move on
Unable to feel
All my hope is gone!
I AM NOT DONE
FORGOTTEN SON
I AM SCARRED
BETRAYED
MARRED
AND AFRAID
I WILL NOT BACK DOWN
NOT TILL I PRY YOUR CROWN
FROM
YOUR
TWISTED
HEAD!
I am not the demon
You leave to fester
I am neither a dream
Nor the devil’s jester
I am rage beyond compare
I AM YOUR NIGHTMARE!
My heart torn out and left in the frost
Your free war, lands? I WAS THE COST!|
The solemn bearer of
THE RED CROSS!
