Antebellum

We fell asleep in arms that fondled our teeth and sold them off to thieves

Now we sell ourselves around

Only time will tell if stories like these will share the same fate

Regiments of disconnects emerge in a moronic gentleman's war with their eyes,

their eyes blindfolded they rise

The battlefields all colored with ignominy stained creed, with their eyes,

their eyes, blindfolded they rise into this world.

Kneeling and trembling before him

Waiting on knowledge, fed to us with a plastic spoon

Consuming the scraps, of the misquoted and deceased, with every word spoken today

Make what you will and understand, a typical feud nurtured, over many moons past

Beyond the drought worn hillside, a figure appears as the cumulus over us darkens,

we look up to face our fears

And by the rise of his all powerful hand, he sets vengeance and proclaims

"Follow me or be crushed to the depths of weak mannered simpletons.

You have nowhere to hide, bow before me."

The regiments morale dwindles

As they stare at me I yell, "As we perish may our blood that spills,

be not taken in vain, giving us eternal continuance."

And as he slaughtered them all one by one, I watched from a distance,

waiting for the chance to raise my hand

"No more, will I be under your manipulation"

I thrust forward, with my perceptive glove, gathering all my strength,

thou shalt now disappear

Bruised and beaten, severed head in hand

The archetype has failed

We'll never forget...

We fell asleep in arms that fondled our teeth and sold them off to thieves

Now we sell ourselves around

Regiments of disconnects with their eyes, their eyes blindfolded they rise

Battlefields colored with creeds

Their eyes blindfolded, the rise into this world
