Prayer of Deliverance

Never again

A fortress built with bricks of hate
Their ruptured lives, tortured and caged
Thousands of corpses lay buried by your hand
The stench of this place coats them in despair

A barren, now desolate land
A sight that most will never understand

Innocents, immigrants
Sung a prayer of deliverance
You stole that from them
Bringing forth misery
And fulfilling their end

Son and daughter, sent to slaughter
Dead before their mother
Bathed in bloody water
Repenting for their punished father

Killed like cattle at your grasp
Through the law of sin
Into the flames you’re cast

Hero in your own mind
True intentions deep in disguise
Uproar birthed from hatred through fallacy
Death acting as a means of marketing

We will not forget the things you did
Leaving people to rot
Nothing left
Dead
Shackled torment, oh hell sent
Where else could they go, with nowhere to escape
Their life reduced to a digit
No face and no name, stripped of humanity
In your cynical mind you think
Had the roles been reversed, you’d suffer the same fate
You’d wish to take back all your sin
If just for once you thought of being in their skin

One is only as strong as their surroundings
Your greed has darkened your essence
Why choose hate - and cast souls away
When you have the power to change their fate

Dehumanise, annihilate
Why is it your wish to inflict such pain
On these innocent souls you’ve already cast away

Immigrants, innocents
Needed a life of deliverance
You stole that from them
Son and daughter
Dying before their mother and father
Killed like cattle at your grasp
Through the law of sin
Into the flames you’re cast
Burn
