Plague of Mankind

Tortured souls can't die in hell
under constant fear
Ripping skin, exposing flesh
Death becomes your peer
Pumping water through mouth
A morbid kiss of death
Chivalry, bravery
Seeps from your last breath

Press a button, millions die
The courageous warrior beams
He served his country well, he did
A model of bravery

Mutilating
Cannibalistic
Eating with no soul
Asphyxiating
Without thinking
The plague, of mankind
Suffocating
Self-demeaning
Greed in its breath
Unrelenting
Self-destroying
The plague, of mankind

The sun erupts the innocent die
Devastation nears
Future generations suffer
Infected by the years
Precision bombs, efficiency
The killing machine supreme
Atrocities well known to Man
The world ignores its screams

Dunking heads, a useless ritual
The death of a fellow man
Apologies an accident
'It did not go as planned'

Mutilating
Cannibalistic
Eating with no soul
Asphyxiating
Without thinking
The plague, of mankind
Suffocating
Self-demeaning
Greed in its breath
Unrelenting
Self-destroying
The plague, of mankind

Tortured souls can't die in hell
under constant fear
Ripping skin, exposing flesh
Death becomes your peer
Pumping water through mouth
A morbid kiss of death
Chivalry, bravery
Seeps from your last breath

Mutilating
Cannibalistic
Eating with no soul
Asphyxiating
Without thinking
The plague, of mankind
Suffocating
Self-demeaning
Greed in its breath
Unrelenting
Self-destroying
The plague, of mankind
