These days of desperation
Inflame an angry man
He'll soon run out of options
Now he needs an exit plan
He believes his own propaganda
He takes it to the core
The others are aggressors
He must vanquish in the war
He falls prey to paranoia
Sees his enemies in friends
He makes them all out as liars
He is the liar in the end
He stands small in halls of power
Afraid to eat or drink
As the face of the last traitor
Haunts him nightly in his sleep
And he barks the final order
Strike the hearts of common men
A broken dog when he is cornered
Brings a bloodbath with his breath
He'll soon run out of options
He now turns and walks away
Now he needs an exit plan
His fight is lost, his battle fades.
