By What We Refuse

The world was undone

We were beasts running rampant

Our lust was in our mouths with the law to justify its purpose

We had our own ideas of what righteous was and we staged it all of our minds

It was dishonest and a little bit cheap, but it made the way for our war anthems

Our love was weaker, so we drew from our hate

It's all we had

We could fight our foes if we became the beasts that we claimed to slay

Ignore the strings

We had created a new law, and no one forced our hands

You were replaced by our needs

We bought our righteousness with what we had refused

Like all laws

Fail or flee

I failed the law
