A tune appalling
My meaty fingers, sausage like,
were never thus before,
they used to pull the trigger tight
and strum the strings of war…
but now they leaf through pages
that document my past,
and grip the bars of cages,
in history, iron cast…
I built the cell that holds me
there’s no one else to blame,
I did what Masters told me
a pawn within the game…
now younger men are falling
they're marching to the drum,
that beats a tune appalling
to bring their Kingdom Come.
