Free world

There’s dead men in the reservoir
In the water that we drink
Gods casting down a chain to me
But it’s got a missing link
Put our hopes out upon the ocean
Watch them as they sink
Takes ten years to light a flame
That gutters in a blink

Perhaps as the world falls it won’t take me
But then what good would I be around
Now everything lost and I’m broken
The agents of death and hate abound
And all precious life will be under boot
And all things worth dying for underground

But I won’t go, I won’t scream and I won’t shout
I’ll whisper so you’ll never know how close I stand
I am approaching and hells coming with me
Love in heart and righteous hatred in hand

One day you’ll realise your alone
You’ve been played by those that won’t suffer
When they take everything you own
And there’ll be tears and there’ll be fire
And in the ashes your teeth and bone
