The human condition
Of misery and pain
Contribute to a lexicon
Of mortal remains
Legacies of civilizations
Unseen, unheard…
So, of what importance is
Say, a new song?
Fill-in-the-blanks in the spaces of time
Create a reality with the power of the mind
Kill a hundred people, maim a thousand more
For beliefs that you’re willing to die for

Of misery and pain
Contribute to a lexicon
Of mortal remains
Legacies of civilizations
Unseen, unheard
Nothing important save the absurd
The suffering masses, blame it on their lord
For any place to put the shame - create a mental Mordor
Kill all the Christians, the Muslims, the Jews
Damn into eternity the complacent Hindus
Creations of tact and a one-time mastery
Waste all the men around, and then you’ll be free

Of misery and pain
Contribute to a lexicon
Of mortal remains
Legacies of civilizations
Unseen, unheard
Nothing important save the absurd
Kill a hundred people, maim a thousand more
For all the beliefs that you’re willing to die for
Waste them away, kill them all
And then you’ll be master, then you’ll be free
