London Bridge

Just an experiment. A friend of mine is now in the process of setting it to music.

When a world plagued by hatred rages
What is there to stop it from consuming our hearts?
What can any one person do to overcome such sorrow?

Our only option is to die
Is to die
Is to let it go

Why can’t we let our freedoms melt into the shadows?
Would we suffer all so much?
The pain around us is growing
Are we younger still?

Our only option is to die
Is to die
Is to die
Our only option is to show that we have sorrows too
Our pain a mask of achievement, of ignorance

There is no greater sorrow than the human race
Where our thoughts never leave
Enraptured by tears ready for mouths parched

Our only option is to hate
Is to hate
Is to hate

Run amuck in the streets of weariness
Drink from the slums for all they have
De-educate the public
A basin of detritus and vomit

Our one savior is to cry
Is to feel
Is to see

Cry for us
Cry for us
Cry for our mistakes
