It was spoken as it was written...

These are the symptoms of a restless and Babylonian state

These are the words that scream in your ear

These are the eyes that burn into yours... eyes of fear, 

Eyes that stare into the distance...

These are the voices you hear in your head

Over and Over and Over again...

These are the lines... 

The writings on the wall of time - 

Lines of repetition.

These are the pictures you see in your dreams

Nightmares... Flashing images that haunt your sleep.

These are the dry bones that remain...

Cobeaus lurk, vultures...

These are the symptoms... 

Battered and bruised...

Scarred and abused.

Bloodshed and envy

Wars for no cause

Wars of sorrow

Wars never-ending

Starving babies, 

Homeless.

Refugees and Politicians

Gunshots and bulletshells

Headlines: Woman gone missing

Child gone missing

Buggered, molested, tortured.

Unexplained deaths

Negligent doctors

Irresponsible parents

Irresponsible media owners

Irresponsible citizens

This is the newscast today

This is your forecast

This is you on the front page

This is your friend 6ft under

These are your fruitless tears 

These are your hands stained with blood.

These are your words of pain, of regret, of shame.

These are your lies that confront you.

These are your seeds, sown...

These are your fields, go reap!

This is your guilty conscience 

daring you to pull the trigger 

Figure it out... 

This is your contract 

Sign on the dotted line

Sign the release.

There's a price on your head.

Don't pray now 

Don't beg for mercy

This is your verdict.

This is your judgement.

The sentence is read and it's death!

The grave is waiting to consume your soul.

These are the forbidden words, spoken.

No remorse granted...

This is your conscience speaking - echoing

For all the lives lost,

For all the stolen souls,

For all the murdered innocence.

Here's your retribution...

This one is for you.
