Lyrical Abortions Pt.5

These are some lyrics I was inspired to write upon hearing of the plight of the Palestinian peoples of Gaza and the West Bank. They are an exploration of the rage and despair one must feel in such a horrendous situation. I imagine the music for this song to be kind of black metal-ish but I don't really know yet. The song has a working title of "A Lament."

Vast chains hold me

Tied to the ash

A desperate cry given forth

In my heart

I shall never be free

Rendered a shade

Less than man

Driven to the path of war

No quarter given

Until we transcend

My land lies raped

The women and children all dead

Forgiveness impossible

It was burned

With my soul

A ruined life stands here

Tormented

How much pain can a man,

Receive

Until he breaks?

My core is black

Driven to hate by oppression

I will rage eternal

To cast off

My shackles
