In The Name Of The Father

by Lushed   Mar 14, 2006


"Dear Lord"
She said,
"Dear God"
She cried.
Mass murder in your name,
Hatred in your house.
This land stands,
and war is nothing,
but a game.
Child shot.
Click.
Boom.
Mother lost.
Wrong.
Shot.

Sorry.
Lies.

Greed.
Cash-roll.
City of fire.
In the name of God,
Lies Greed.
Death for sale.

Farewell skin
Fleeing souls whisper prayers.

Leader.
Killer.
He speaks to the crowd.
"In the name of the Father!
The Son!
And THE HOLY SPIRIT!!!"
All will die.
Lives lost,
For you.
Click.
Boom.
Greed.
Pay-roll.

Thine is the kingdom, Lord.
Send out your men.
Blood,
Crimson,
Splatter,
Each wall.
Screams echo.
Children cry.
Mothers plea.
"In Jesus name we pray,
Amen."
