The Beast

by peter   Jun 4, 2006


'Boom' 'boom' 'boom'...another explosion
Another Palestinian boy is dead
The tank rumbling and blew off his head
Sticks and stone don't chip the armor
Barefoot, skin rigid like the sand under
Running with valor, running for freedom
Earth is shaking, the Almighty's conundrum
Prayer is worthless, in a land of implosion

The sound of M-16 riddling bullets on hope
Poor people struggle daily and don't get shit
It's another endless battle against the beast

They say they'll die for what they believe in
An ironic epic as the cold steel is pressed
Thou shall not kill, smell of disdain mushroomed
What they believed in was not in scripture
The conscience of one man to all, is ruptured
The nature of greed corrupts the soul
The master pulls his strings and control
Mindless puppets, melting in the pot for their sin

The sound of M-16 riddling bullets on hope
Poor people struggle daily and don't get shit
It's another endless battle against the beast

'Thump' 'thump' 'thump'...apocalypse is here
Knocking on the door, their red eyes glowing
'Thump!' echoing in a perturb night is chilling
The celestial bodies are dimmed tonight
Neck crooked with wandering eyes, loses site
Destiny rattles in disgust, this wasn't meant to be
His only escape, caught in the dark, he couldn't see
'Boom!' the door shatters...apocalypse is here

The sound of M-16 riddling bullets on hope
Poor people struggle daily and don't get shit
It's another endless battle against the beast
