MIND WARP

Tell us how your minds work ..

What drives you to kill?

Do you ever feel a sad twinge?

Or is it just another skill?

Were your loved ones murdered?

Your dreams drowned in blood?

Or is it your idea of religion

Unleashing this lethal flood?

Have you been taught to act

And think the way you do?

Brainwashed into believing

This means salvation for you?

Or is it just the sight of people

Burning in your craze

That turns you on , excites you

And spurs you on unfazed?

Tell us what will quench your thirst

How we can satisfy

The beasts that live inside of you

Then teach you how to cry

We want you to feel the pain,

The sort that you inflict

On innocents who pay the price

For no one’s benefit.

Every time you kill someone

Another strife begins

Spawning some more of your kind

Who will avenge your sins?

When will we be rid of you?

Where will this battle end?

Will peace survive? Or will it die..

At the hands of a few mad men?
