THE WORLD SHRUGGED

Sol Invictus / Wakeford

I see a cross, so rotten and sad
I see a flag, a bloody torn rag
The games we play, the lies we tell
The hearts that are broken between heaven and hell
And the stones they fall, never to rise
And the world will shrug, and close her eyes
This black night with jaws of steel
All our battles lost beneath its heel
I would dam mankind and all its woes
And murder Cupid with his bow
Across the earth a poison seeps
From house to house a plague does creep
With smiles and whispers to blunt our swords
And with fools' gold for us all
