The war machine rages on.

I try to fight it everywhere

Both inside and out.

I plead my case to the Gods

For them to dismount War

From atop his mount.

Aren't they aware

I still have my own battles

To fight within?

Lady Justice

Promises to fight by my side.

But that bitch is still blind.

How the fuck can she fight for me

When her sword strikes upon me

More than my enemy?

So here I am,

Fighting for my life

In a useless war

That rages on.

So here I am,

Fighting on every front

Trying to survive

Every enemy both

Within and without.
