Behind the Realms of Madness
Through innocent minds the knife glides in Cutting the lifeline to sanity Replacing lives with possessions and greed Like blind children we search frantically Our hands claw the air for peace and light But we're offered just blackness and rage A new life screams as it takes its first breath Soon trapped in its ready-made cage Its hands claw the air for peace and light Yet it's offered just blackness and rage Through innocent flesh the knife glides in Cutting the life-line with ease Replacing life with the foul stench of death On the fresh blood they now start to feed They've taken the earth as they now take the life Cold concrete replaces warm soil We sit in the corners, minds twisted with fear For a world we shall soon see no more

Like the shadow from Mordor, creeping slowly forward Unleashed from it's sanctuary by the devil in man The world thrown into torment by their uncaring greed We stare into the face of death screaming to be freed Their control is complete, we the voiceless have none Beaten into defeat by the arm of the strong Now the shadow gets darker for they've stolen the sun And the sale of our earth has already begun Like Durin's Bane, rising up from the deep There is evil at work while the people do sleep As they plunder the earth, still we sit back and watch Their wrath consumes all that would stand in their path

The new day is dawning they start counting the dead The hard swollen bellies of the children not fed Their land dry and parched still they pray for the rain The massacre continuous yet again and again Year after year the lands ring deaths bell The children's blind eyes have a sad tale to tell Their limbs bent and twisted, their kinds hold no spark They're crying in vain for no light breaks the dark The land holds the hammer but mankind deals the blow Economics and pro Fit before compassion we show Our excesses waste as the wealthy grow fat Rather than give to the needy they'll let the food rot At death door they stand, only suffering they know The new day is dawning they start counting the dead The hard swollen bellies of the children not fed Their land dry and parched still they pray for the rain The massacre continuous yet again and again Year after year the lands ring deaths bell The children's blind eyes have a sad tale to tell Their limbs bent and twisted, their kinds hold no spark They're crying in vain for no light breaks the dark

With blatant deception they rape the fields of life With brutal destruction enforcing hatred and strife They take beauty in their hands yet put back only pain Their bigotry and greed has always been the same With blind acceptance we swallow all their lies Engulfed by their hatred we learn only to despise They have nothing in their arrogance, their narrow-minded stance But they won't open up their eyes to even give it just a chance

On the brink of destruction the world trembles in fear The madman is screaming, a crumpled corpse lying near The people are fighting for what's left of the mess Their minds blown to fragments now blend with the dust The corpses are moving, hungry maggots give life The brave men of the world have now fought their last fight A mother's last scream as in death she brings life An heir to the world that now whimpers and dies The child is slaughtered as it leaves the womb Fighting for air in this festering tomb

Such a sorrowful scene, this sight for sore eyes Emaciated bodies, another child dies A sad symbol of the brotherhood of man Out of sight out of mind in a faraway land Begging for a morsel, bowl in hand While the rich men talk of relief plans Drawing up agreements of who gets what But the bowl stays empty and the corpses rot Such a sorrowful scene, a sight for sore eyes The weapons pile up, the whole country dies A sad symbol of the hatred of man Out of sight out of mind in our own land Begging for sanity, let reason prevail The wise men talk, the efforts all fail They make new agreements of who's got what The stockpiles get higher the child is forgot
