Modern Horror

And you will face the sea of darkness
And all therein that may be explored

Information overload
I cannot seem to keep it straight
The grief of who weighs more
The pyre, the politicians even plate
A pound of flesh is paid to zero consequence
Jesus only weeps for whom have paid in cash for their penance

Modern horror all around
Our dreams are dead and in the ground
Modern horror all around
Our dreams are dead and in the ground
Modern horror all around
Our dreams arе dead and in the ground
Modern horror all around
Our drеams are dead and in the ground

Means of production look to an end
Their children killed are complicit
Subjective truths turn into lies
In celebration of decline
Few people laugh, few people cry
Manifest, millions to die
A sudden flash and all is gone
But for the ghosts who sing along

Modern horror all around
Our dreams are dead and in the ground
Modern horror all around
Our dreams are dead and in the ground
Modern horror all around
Our dreams are dead and in the ground
Modern horror all around
Our dreams are dead and in the ground

Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita;
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and
To impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says
"Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
