War Tuesday

From the Lifesmith Group album, "Rant."

We were asymptotic to infinity as we slid down the rail
Fenceless and forgiving as we groped through our Braille
Hunted and crawling as we searched for the grail
While hungry for blood we screamed our betrayal.

We laughed and we cried as we died, yet denied
The blood-chilling waves as we flipped in the tide
We were standing erect as they switched on the ride
And stinging electricity purified our pride.

Seemed that we’re dancing on the edge of a knife
The silent soul is the mind's holy wife
Seems the harder we try to eradicate this strife
The sterner are the taskmasters who regulate our life.

We had found the perfect vacuum as we dared to stay away
We learned the eternal message as we rightly demanded pay
We have seen the inside of hell as war is one of the ways
To annihilate all mankind
