The monster we raised


We raised the giant that trails us

We made a monster with thorny furs

Blood means no more than water

Water in itself a luxury

No longer bearing the name portable

People begging for a sip from the mud


Those who claimed they care for the masses

Whose wealth now made them better than us?

You sell your soul to mammon

Who leave you with nothing but a stone for a heart?
Promised them a good life

Only to come to suck out the frail life


Yes we all dance to the tune

It was all originated from the lines we wrote

The one you composed yet you can’t master

You call woe on Europe for trading your brothers

Only for you on return to murder the ones thy free

Their death is your doom


For the monster we built trails us

Waiting to take on his master

Only with the space of time

And a heart of reparation can we escape it

Else we wait in cue on a queue

As the monster we raised usurps its creator
