LAMENT OF PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE
i look deep inside my hands
what i give, please do not neglect
there's my love and my secrects
the only things true in this land
in the world of many, jealous man-gods
people march and pledge allegiance to war
i run away and hide from their ominous cars
drown my scent to throw off their dogs
screams... fear... shots... pain... blood
i cry... my love has gone away
blood is on my hands and face
at last here i die in my neighborhood

Wow. Heavy stuff man. Heavy. I really like this one too. I like what you give, the land, the jealous man-gods, people marching-allegiance-war, you running away and hiding, ominous cars, drown-scent to throw off their dogs. And you killed it in the last part: 'At last here I die in my neighborhood.' Sweeeet.
