How long are you
Going to stay
Like this?
Holed up within
Walls you built
Bulletproof panes
With a loaded gun
Heart of glass
Locked in steel
You can't go to war
Every time you
Open your mouth!
Spouting hate
Words aflame
To hide the pain
To hide the shame
Why do you think
Offence is
the best defence?
Someday someone will
defeat you
Burn down your
whole city
Bring this castle
Of wretched memories
To it's weak knees
They will raid
Your haven
And set it's
Prisoner free
And losing will
Bring you the peace
That war never could
