Failed Crops lyrics

A peon in this another conflict

Three decades have fallen by

Still caring yet again in judgment

This molten barrel glows death

The choking cordite everywhere

Bloated bodies planted putrify

Like an ignored unattended harvest

Left rotting in the fields

The winds foretell its ripening

Festered sanctimonous resolve

The essence of survival extreme

Rushes of terror and malaise

Numbness and ennui formidable foes

A place where only tears cleanse

The clenched fist shakes the skies

Hear the constant shouts of men

In orders, in fear, in direction

The wounded whelp and wail, wane

A crimson river flows to feed

The failed crops cast silently

An unresolved unction felt fleeting

On grounds gleaned of mortal mounds

The earth extracts needed nutrients

Dormant dreams, ambition's armies

When seedlings spring to struggle again
