The world we live in.
Take a step with me into the darkness, keep your eyes closed ignore the flashes of brightness. Perk up your ears as you ignore your heart, listen to these dreadful screams inside the dark. Listen to all the booms and the bangs, listen to the same explosions that in their ears rang. Almost as if the past as come to haunt the present, I guess it's true what they say those who forget it are doomed to repeat it. Feel the burst before your face, of wind and of flame, almost as if nature itself has been driven insane. The sky's cry and the land trembles like a little kid, being ripped apart by the slaves that do as their masters bid. Do you recognize this place we explore, or perhaps I must still tell you a little more. Take a whiff of the air around us, smell all the flesh burning to dust. BOOM BOOM BOOM their flesh catches the flame, BOOM BOOM BOOM we're all being driven insane. Their flesh melts away as their blood boils in their veins. Tell me what does it smell like as your brethren boil into the air you breath, as their bodies turn to dust and their consciousness just leaves. Take a breath and inhale the ashes of the fallen, feel them slash down your throat as the eagle's talons. Do you see it now? Where it is we stand surrounded by these dreadful sounds. Open up your eyes now and see where it is we stand, sitting in a world where what we choose to see is all we can. This is the world you live in see it or not, just know as long as you don't it'll never stop.
