Unravelled by War

Into squalor I was born Somewhere long since forlorn In a place shattered and torn Non-existent to the world you know At too young an age I saw battles waged Extermination, slaughter, death, rape and rage I could not take it anymore For hate is such a force Unwillingly I went to war To settle the score Enraged and high on adrenaline Devoid of sympathy, like a machine Little did I know, of what was next for me As all went black, in a cloud of debris Hands grips my feet Lost trail of thought Dust swirls all around me I can't see This can't be Can anyone hear me scream? Enraged and high on adrenaline Devoid of sympathy, like a machine Little did I know, of what was next for me As all went black, in a cloud of debris All so black All so silent All so still Deep within

As dust settled from hidden C4 I'm shaken, shellshocked and nearly deaf Bludgeoned and chained to the floor In a recondite space reeking of death Reflections spring to mind, where am I Whom are my captors, and wherefore? Confined but determined to stay alive Lost, but not a casualty of war Tearing the flesh, from my wounds Severing teeth, toes and fingers Pinching hooks, cutting through Injecting disease, establishing blisters I can feel my flesh creeping Putrefaction spreads I can feel my flesh creeping Inevitably the torture began Lashed to the walls of hell Bleeding through for hours on end No screams will exit these halls Not a single question asked What can they possibly want from me? I came to think of it at last Just to watch me in agony Tearing the flesh, from my wounds Severing teeth, toes and fingers Pinching hooks, cutting through Injecting disease, establishing blisters I can feel my flesh creeping Putrefaction spreads I can feel my flesh creeping This can't go on, plans take shape Before I'm foregone, I'll make my escape

At light of dawn I had overcome These distorted and misled pawns By power I break the chains Heart pounding, no longer constrained Undiluted wrath swiftly takes command Slitting throats in desperate resentment Room by room drained of life like planned With violence I'll get my vengeance Disconcerted and terrified, I need a way out Through gritty passages that I know nothing about A faint breeze alerts my senses, hope ignites At long last I see daylight But the luminary source seems too bright It's as if I can't distinguish whether I'm alive Nothing seems clear to these overexposed eyes Somethings amiss, of my dreams I'm suddenly deprived What I saw had nothing to do with reality In fact I was dying, barely able to breathe Pinioned to the ground, they press my face into the mud Shrieking I gasp for air, but choke in blood Broken, torn apart, kicking in vain, screaming in pain No words can describe the hate that I feel But my body is so dilapidated I give in to death and with a camera to my face I am decapitated
