Last of the Cowards

Folder: 
Songs

Walking a path

Of shadows and whispers

Silent gazes

Of fellow deserters

 

They know the pain endured

The truth that's been squandered

They offer no help

Just disassociate themselves

Of their sin

 

The world will not forgive

They don't give a fuck

You're branded a criminal

Marked for death

Burn the last of the cowards

There's no room left for martyrs

In the eyes of a child

They only see evil

While you bleed from the inside

What will you do when you're the only one left?

 

White and black blended

Into a dark shade of grey

You turn towards the river

As your eyes fade away


There's nothing you can do

To change what you've done

There's nothing you can do

To rewrite what you've done

Forever a coward


The world will not forgive

They don't give a fuck

You're branded a criminal

Marked for death

Burn the last of the cowards

There's no room left for martyrs

In the eyes of a child

They only see evil

While you bleed from the inside

What will you do when you're the only one left?

martyrs & cowards

Interesting mix - I was just talking about leadership and hero designees. I have to admit, I have written little on cowards (fear yes) but one who cowers and does not act or own up to their sins- you pretty much covered cowards  as if in a rant of condemnation. Cool write. ~a~
