On The Wings Of Pegasus

A nation of cowards
 Our ideals betrayed
 Tides of injustice
 Traitors to ourselves
 Offer my entrails
 As sacrifice to your God,
 And then imagine
 What we could have had.
 A call for justice,
 Or a call for treason?
 The universal problem-solver.
 Please don't shoot
 Until you see
 The whites of their eyes,
 A recurring cry.
 Strap him down and his evils will be reconciled.
 Flip the switch and everything will be alright.
 A nation of cowards
 Our ideals betrayed
 Tides of injustice
 Traitors to ourselves
 Inject the poison to make us feel safe.
 Inject the poison to make us feel safe.
 Inject
 The poison
 To make us
 Feel safe.
 It will crush you,
 Shattered teeth and broken bones
 All in spite of your best intentions.
 It will consume you,
 Ruined lives and tortured souls all
 Because of your need for a scapegoat.
 I have ignored this carnage for far too long,
 But now my conscience has caught up with my heart.
 Has caught up with my heart.
 Carry me away, on wings that cannot fly
 To the land of second chances where hope conquers fear.
 Carry me away, on wings that cannot fly
 To the land of second chances where hope conquers fear.
