Favorite Quote:
"In the deepest hour of the night, confess to yourself that you would die if you were forbidden to write. And look deep into your heart where it spreads its roots, the answer and ask yourself, must I write" - Rainer Maria Rilke


Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom
Roaring booms of thunder gods
see, my brothers, the flash of red
they come to smite me
they come for us, our blood
come, see the flash of blue
look, there the hills burn red
blood and fire
war’s dead result
“The United States of America are…”
This was the Revolutionary cry
I drop to my knees
pray, pray with me
drop your rifle and pray
I will not die this day,
this I say again
I will not die this day
I am the American man
I stand here
Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom
Roaring Booms of thunder gods
we will charge these gods
see they are captured and punished
I will fight for my country
you may forgive me
but I will not be forgiven
