5'o'clock
100 years before, ruled by a master to work them to death
present day considered a failed state
angry and wealthy clinging to their thrones
willing to purge and butcher their own
The eyes of world looking on
pondering action but suffering from division
all the weapons and armies of hell
but exposed as a toothless tiger
as the bodies pile up in the well
Cities built up through slavery and then technology
Cities burning down, the price for being free
Left and right hand equally guilty
Raping and destroying for ideology
Invading one but not another
the eyes of the world bats it's lids again
as the dying are paraded at 5'o'clock
and the public haul the powers in the dock
Power ceded to no other
Another faceless parasite loved by the world
as rifles are fired and brother kills brother
automatic rainshower tears through our hearts
automatic rainshower shredding themselves apart
Cities built up through slavery and then technology
Cities burning down, the price for being free
Left and right hand equally guilty
Raping and destroying for ideology
