Standing there, looking at my reflection
Rippled, different, on the oval pond
Then I wonder.
Who is this?
What have I done?
Because this certainly isn’t me.
Standing there, looking at my reflection
Rippled, different, on the oval pond
It hits me.
It is them.
That’s what they’v...
Hated runs through young veins,
Lies are told, good men go to war.
Endless tyranny from cruel reigns,
Death seems so imminent now then before.
