Day Is Done

nuclear fission, sins of omission, hide your eyes, buy the lies! hearts gone numb, minds struck dumb, the flesh dies, stink and flies. roll down the window, just past tomorrow, trading souls, fighting for control. politicians kiss and tell, on the road to hell, the fire gone cold, nothing left to hold. broken down, running on empty. packs of wolves roam the cities. children's bodies down in the alleys, nowhere to run, day is done! nowhere to run, day is done! the curse of invasion, profitable occasions. fly the flag, drums and bodybags. different shades and colors, forgotten brothers, it's easier to kill, than it is to feel! the cries and the voices, ghosts of our choices, rome burns, with every turn! poverty's needle, almost inconceivable, blood on the hands, blood on the hands. broken down, running on empty. packs of wolves roam your cities. children's bodies down in the alleys, nowhere to run, day is done! nowhere to run, day is done!
