...Because the Blind can't See

There is a Garden of Eden, untouched nature
And a full economic development
With the usual moral degeneration
Not everything in this world is black and white
Where are the standard happy endings?

I fly alone in the sky above
I play with thunder
And darken the clouds on a sunny day
All your zest for life fades away
For around me Death Blooms

As it starts to snow
The deafening sound of war fills the sky
You hear the shrill demented quires of waling shells.
I rip you apart and I steal your soul
I kill you again and again
And I laugh as you realize
Around me Death Blooms

I walk the roads with a gun in my hand
Unloading every bullet
With the pure joy of death in my eyes
I shoot you once, then I shoot you twice
As I relish the sight of your blood draining out of you
Your death brings no misery, you begged for it
For around me Death Blooms

I am not a killer, I am just a weapon.
I carry out my duty with pride
It is not my decision, whether you live or die
The choice was made for you by the devil himself
I live as a weapon so that you can die
For around me death blooms.

The Holocaust, Death, AIDS, SARS, and the Terrorist attacks
The death of Arafat, the war in Iraq,
Katrina, Rita and a possible Bird flu pandemic
Today the best friends of death are alive
The world is enjoying its final days
A choice made by the devil and you obey

I see the Eclipse,
Is this the beginning of the end?
Is war history?
Can we kill the taste for death?
Or can the blind just open their eyes and experience sight?

I celebrate, I Laugh, I Cry
But I survive
I am meant to be

Have you realized that you are missing the standard happy endings?
Look at the beginning to find a new end.
Everyone needs redemption
Our world is our own creation
Every thing that ever happens is always linked to a choice made by you
From blemished margins progress the liberal democracy
How will the salvation be?

We have a Garden of Eden, untouched nature
And a full economic development
As I celebrate, I Laugh, I Cry
I begin to feel karmic linking’s!
I am a survivor
I am meant to be
For I shall live and never Die
Apart from you
Beyond the sky!
