Everywhere we turn the rotten teeth demons howl.
Everywhere we move the anticipation of blood lingers through the coldblooded soul.
Every aspect of retrieving survival is the only retribution a free man can indulge.
Every monumental stand our history has made, a world has been created more bold.
Every petal placed on a stone cooled tree;
Every anguished cry not to persecute thee.
With every free comes another man’s slave.
With every desire there is a lifeless life that prays.
With every want beholds someone’s every need.
With every contribution of hope counteracts another man’s plea.
