Cause of Death: Compassion


Can you hear the howl
The screams of pain
Can you feel the coldness
Of the human heart

Onto this earth we're thrown
We suffer and wither away
Before the exiting day
We pass our sins onto others

Can you feel the icy breeze
Someone's last breath
Can you bear to witness
Someone's own personal hell

To survive
Allegiances are formed
Forced to choose
Between them or us
I choose myself
And carry the weight alone

Can it really warm you
Your blazing hate
Can you tell the difference
Between beliefs and tyranny

We roam this earth
We hurt and we maim
Before the exiting day
We infect our spawn with fear

To dominate
Rights are removed
And fear introduced
Forced to choose
Between them or us
I choose myself
