In the world
I see.
Nothing is
sacred.
Crosses burn
far off into the
night and
I bet venus and
mars think that
they're stars
they burn so bright.
For God right?
Out of hatred?

Look past your
own vanity world
and see a soul
shines brighter.
Not the kind
that like to wither
and bruise
and bleed,
but the true heart
that fuels it.
the kind that doesn't
bleed.

But thats asking
too much
isn't it.

I live in a
world where
nothings sacred.

Religious wars
and such fueled
conflicts
have claimed
millions of lives
and I bet Jupiter
and Saturn
think that the bursts
of red strewn
fire fights
emerging from
our tainted world
are really
just supernovas
and they get scared
and hide,
they never come close
enough,
except a couple times
a year maybe
to see if its safe
to get closer.

But their afraid
of black holes,
and hell!
Maybe thats what
we really are
a black hole.
Traveling so
fast towards a
center of
violence and
inconvenient loss
as well as truths,
that even light
speed can't post
our bail.

I live in a world
where nothing
is sacred.

Where people
can die tragic
deaths, and
bible thumpers
can praise Jesus
in the name of
righteous
smite and damnation.

I think the sun
it can understand the
wrath though.
For I think that
maybe the sun
was once a world
like ours.

and the hatred;
the justified
worship of a
false God brought
it too the one thing
it feared,
a living breathing
hell.
I bet satan
calls the
suns core home.
Or maybe,
we're the lucky
ones that lay
claim to his throne.

At least that
could explain
something.

I live in
a world where
nothing is
sacred.

But don't we
like it that way?

We find ourselves
isolated...

No planets dare
visit,
but instead,
they stray away,
as far as they can..

I can't blame
them.
I bet those UFO's
we see...

Those are considered
suicide missions,
filled with crazy
or brave pilots.

You can tell some
cant stand what
they see though...

Just look
at Roswell...

I bet they took
one look at
our blind faith
and decided that
there really was
nothing to live for.

I live in a
world where
nothing is
sacred.

But we like
it this way...
If we didn't,
would we not go on?
