Beyond The Pale

With the strength of mystical force,

they enforce the wars of the cross,

and were sent by Jesus and God

to win whatever the cost.

But "the price of freedom is high"

said those who sold this charade,

and we chose to go and partake,

and so began the crusade.

With martyrs on all sides

instructing all to rise,

and fight the factions of evil,

they took us on all rides

as we watched the carnage and death

spiral out of control.

Then we all went on with our lives,

'til all took a toll

Freedom... Beyond The Pale

Now the case for war we reject,

but we're forced to accept

and trust in those we elect

with policies so inept.

their propaganda was staged,

but no one dare make a sound.

These trails of violence and tears

will be like this for years.

Most are numb to the pain

and ignorant to the game.

But a game was played nonetheless

that some would call a success,

with occupation the goal.

Stripping the soul.

Freedom... Beyond The Pale
