Shatterheart

Listen

dripping venom

acid in the streets

 

Devolution

the mad king laughs

blood in the streets

 

Disillusion

savagery exposed

Stanford’s lesson forgotten

 

Fury

Civilization falls

Rome’s lesson forgotten

 

Hatred

‘Never forget’, already gone

Reich’s lesson forgotten

 

Shatterheart

crystal tears

gaping wounds inflicted

 

Emberlight

faint flickering

spark of hope

 

Solidarity

saving grace

slumbering justice wakens
