The Runt

Something has cast a shadow evermore
 Upon a world once bright
 Smothering the light, baffling the bold
 And cleaving the flesh from the bone
 It tears from the top and weeds the single mind
 Its turns and its twists undermine
 By crushing the strong it leaves the runt
 Unchallenged to suckle alone
 Are we finished now, forgotten how to stay alive?
 Will we wait until we've lost the will to just survive?
 Are we finished now, forgotten how to stay alive?
 Will we wait until we've lost the will to just survive?
 Something has drawn a shroud across the land
 To hide a world once bright
 Snuffing the light, destroying all hope
 And raising the weak over all
 It eats from the top, the scraps are left to lie
 And to rot what could overcome
 It turns on itself and leaves the runt
 Unbridled to feed on its own
 Are we finished now, forgotten how to stay alive?
 Will we wait until we've lost the will to just survive?
 Are we finished now, forgotten how to stay alive?
 Will we wait until we've lost the will to just survive?
 It tears from the top and weeds the single mind
 Its turns and its twists undermine
 By crushing the strong it leaves the runt
 Unchallenged to suckle alone
 Are we finished now, forgotten how to stay alive?
 Will we wait until we've lost the will to just survive?
 Are we finished now, forgotten how to stay alive?
 Will we wait until we've lost the will to just survive?
