Divine Masquerade

Could a word hold power over mind and body

when it relates to the soul?

long tragedies on battle fields

children tortured, one million kills

under the flag of our God

Desires turn to blood

as lust claims our souls,

with the simplest lie of all:

to be chosen by some God

Centuries of slander

masked with opium slumbers

aimed to control our essence

to breed and keep their hold with fear
