Lifeline

Through innocent minds the knife glides in Cutting the lifeline to sanity Replacing lives with possessions and greed Like blind children we search frantically Our hands claw the air for peace and light But we're offered just blackness and rage A new life screams as it takes its first breath Soon trapped in its ready-made cage Its hands claw the air for peace and light Yet it's offered just blackness and rage Through innocent flesh the knife glides in Cutting the life-line with ease Replacing life with the foul stench of death On the fresh blood they now start to feed They've taken the earth as they now take the life Cold concrete replaces warm soil We sit in the corners, minds twisted with fear For a world we shall soon see no more
