The Mourning of Lives
**************************
Thus bear we
Thus breed we
Thus spread we
So right
So wrong
Thus breed we
Deck the halls
Thus own we
Sow the fields
Of folly
So right
So wrong
Sore of pride
Thus spread we
Breed on
Spread on
Sow the oceans
Of glory
Spread the flesh
Breed the blood
Of thy enemy
So right
So wrong
Thus spread we
Thus bear we
Beyond eternity
Thus shed we
The free drops
Of slavery
So bear we
So dare we
No threat
No fear
Thus burn we
The daily bread
Of joy
Thus take we
The quenching smile
Of a child
For this starving
Stomach of (y)earnings
No thirst
No hunger
For granted
Thus breed we
Thus bear we
As bloating blisters
Spluttering tears
Of agony
The oppulent bliss
Of blind envy
Thus bear we
Thus breed we
Thus spread we
So right
So wrong
In the seas
Of sorrow
And the mountains
Of torn
Pretention
