The things I thought left behind
Returned with vengeance
Born of lies and fear
Of monsters from their own mind
We are lambs on your sacrificial altar
Praying to a god of false promises
You will watch us bleed and bleed
As god sinks his teeth in your neck
Drives a knife into your back
Whispers lies in your ears and covers your eyes
“They are the enemy” he will say
And you will slaughter us and obey
As that knife sinks deeper
Piercing your heart, your very soul
You will only know when it’s too late
No one can undo what has been done
The world will burn and blood will cover my eyes
But I will tie off my wounds and I will live
I will live out of spite
I will live in defiance of you and your god
I will live filled with love for those you despise
I will live with a fire in my heart
My memory is long
I will keep note of those who have done us wrong
And when your god abandons you
When your god has finished with you
We will finally be free
Wading through a river of blood
