To call a bluff
By Phalanx
Madness, disposal, recount last night.
God is my friend but, he let's me run.
I wash my hands in rays of light
Between day and night as if I don't remember
The promise I made with ash between my palms.
It can't be so simple, I know not even myself.
What right have you to invade.
I was told to keep them out,
These enemies that walk on four elements and I.
You taught me to kill, survive.
I don't know how to respond to these liars anymore.
If they step on my ground, I can kill them, right?
You didn't teach me diplomacy.
I must learn how to be stabbed, shot, burned, accused, racked, judged,
sacrificed, murdered, peeled, loved, hated and to survive...
Give it all back.
