mistreated blanket of despair
wrapped up and safe from the
flames that lick the sins away
preached to the miserable
in dark corners all across
the ever loving world
slick tongues talking away
all the pain they've caused
over centuries of repression
because we all hope there is
something to look forward to
when we're all gone to dust
we hope for justice, if not in
this life, then in the next for
those that have done us wrong
and we listen to the twisted
tongues to tell us of the hereafter
and how it will be when we end
we strive for some meaning behind
all the madness we see, some greater
good to wash away the sour
we create war for this, justify murder
and hate and bigotry and lewd thoughts
to make it all right in the end
but we really have no idea what waits for
us on the other end of the long sleep, nor do
we care as long as our justice is served
we are the evil we see in the world, we are the
evils we do, we are the pain and the suffering
and the broken bodies lying in the mud
let's put blame where it belongs, let us tell the
truth and see ourselves for what we are-
we are the evil we fear
