Plastic Heart (Collab With Cindy)

by End Of Eternity   Oct 21, 2008


Venom spilling around the world
There's a crack in every heart
Earning bread and butter from war
Killing is the new generation's art

Planting bombs, unsuspecting crowds
Plastic hearts with ice filled veins
No longer think on their own
Taking lives now a deadly game

Black smoke, rubble, broken glass
Smell of burnt flesh fills the air
Stealing souls in their God's name
Screams of innocent, sirens blare

Religion has become an excuse
As they do what they are told
Innocent soldiers wasted for nothing
Everyday many true souls are sold

Breathing in this cold place of terror
Searching for love among our dead
Wondering if this is what we call life
Waiting for the next blood to be shed

Give those you love flowers while they live
For tomorrow may be snatched away
Don't wait for burials and funeral pyres
We are never promised another day

    An excellent write. The verses blend well as it should be in a collab. The last verse is especially poignant and so very true. Good job to both of you. 5/5
