My very...existance...is evidence...you're wrong
I've suffered...the protests...as life moved...along
I've brought all...the lambs to...the slaughter...at last
I've played... the victim...I've lived in... your caste
I cant let you go now...
I've sealed up...your wounds with... the strings in...the trash
They gave you...your reason...to kill me... at last
I've let all... the puppets...dance all on... their own
I've torn down... the creature...that you called...a home
I cant let you go now...
I wont let you run away
I KNOW YOUR SCENT AND YOU WILL PAY!!
(Chorus)
REDEEM YOURSELF! I DONT LIKE YOUR TONE!
YOU REACH FOR A SAVIOR! I REACH FOR A STONE!
CONSUMING NEW VICES WHILE SHOVELING DUST!
THE WHOLE WORLD CONDEMNS ME! I DO WHAT I MUST!!
Inviting...corruption... on my...outer shell
Creating...a new world...to rival...this Hell
Infectious...the song of...the infant...awake
Im sick of...the grusome...new noises...you make
I cant let you go now...
I wont let you run away
I KNOW YOUR SCENT AND YOU WILL PAY!!
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
WE ARE GORGEOUS! TAKE US DOWN!
WE NEVER LISTENED TO YOU ANYWAY!
WE ARE SORDID! LEFT TO ROT!
WE GIVE IT ALL TO YOU!
Redeem...yourself...I dont like...your tone
You reach for...a savior... I reach for...a stone
Consuming...new vices...while shoveling...Dust
The whole world...condemns me...I do what...I must
(Chorus)
Covet...the sodium...as you kill...the soldier
Give him...the weight of...the world on...his shoulders
Give him...his loved ones...to kiss them...goodbye
Take them...away in...the blink of...an eye
TO A DEGREE IM INSIDE
I DONT want to come out!
SOMEONE HIDE ME!
SOMEONE SAVE ME!
I AM FRAGILE AND ACHING
NO ONE OFFERS GUIDANCE!
SHIELDS OF IGNORANCE!
FIELDS OF HYPOCRITES!
HALLELUJAH RINGING!
I lay down EMPTY!
IM INSIDE YOU!
ALWAYS INSIDE YOU!
Im inside you
always inside you
I am growing
roots extending
PITY MEANS NOTHING TO ME!
YOU MEAN NOTHING TO ME!!
I BLEED OUT MY HUMANITY!
IT'S A TRAGEDY!
IM A TRAGEDY!
There's no escape from this
you know that Im awake
THERES ONLY SILENCE NOW!
I HAVE MY SILENCE NOW!!!!

- Description: I plan to do some improv stuff at the end. All the stuff at the end is already just me improv screaming and singin and whatnot. As for the song itself, it's about both religion and war. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, etc, please comment below and I'll be glad to give you any info you seek. I love praise, but I love critisism and questions more!

Hello! ^^ Sorry I haven’t been by in a while.
I really like this peace; the words/images are haunting and vivid, and the rhyme and syllable schemes are solid and enjoyable. I appreciated your pictorial wordplay throughout. I found the chorus to be especially clever, and I liked your later use of it as abruptly quieter than before – it shook thing up for me. Lastly, I enjoyed your wild, sincere ending, although I would have also enjoyed an extension of your witty structure.
