The world today is a dreadful place
Filled with gangs and kills and vice
To live a day with joy and peace
Is to eat and sleep and live like mice
To live in fear
To sleep in fear
To live with those we still hold dear
But now we’re scared
Our minds full of dread
We cry if we live, we cry if we die
We are meek we creep
We are weak
We sleep
To live is to die
To die is to live
The worlds a maze
A likely craze
Like a race with no beginning
Not known to man
Nor beast who ran
A mind full of evil
With things once medieval
To think, to dream, to die
