Inhuman Are We
Who are we to consider ourselves human
Having black strings tugging at our hearts
The fall, falling, marks where it starts
Visualizing vividly images of vicious hounds
The teeth that snarls at the world
In our captor's hands curled
Poisoning, writhing from the tips
Death slipping from the lips
A man pulling life from his false love
An enemy from deep within
No other then a mirror it could've been
A war from birth until night of death
Haunting mistakes that fogs memories
Brushing thoughts of the cruel reality
Inhuman are we...
