Weapon of Mass Corruption

Vaporized

Nuclear skies

Dehumanized

Before your eyes

Let shadows stain

Your throne of lies

And downfall reigns

Fill your warhead

With haunting cries

Of burning dread

When no replies

Or tears are shed

For the melted, faceless dead

No peace is spread

No words revised

In treaties forcing all complies

Pledge to disarm

Then supersize

The god complex

Hellbent disguise

Is worn instead

As profits rise

For sycophantic

Suits and ties

The circling vultures' hunger fed

On stuffing pocket carnage prize

Then hollow carcass speech is read

And every empty promise said

Selling us this freedom guise

While purchasing our dark demise

And sharing it

With our allies

Until all cents of life is bled

At the expense of those who've pled

To end the violence

We devise

An age of terror we have led

As hate and fear in flesh embed

A fusion bomb

That greed has bred

The human race

Runs ever-red

Mankind erased

And in its stead

A fallout zone

Is our deathbed
