Why Are We Born To This

Embellished in my insecurities
How can I compare to thee
When it is hidden
Within your gentle stare
Do you really want to care

Conqured but not conceived by one
The total sum beneath the sun
Within thy hand the brotherhood of man
Why are we born to this forsaken land

To relish in this natural wonder
Beneath the sounds of distant thunder
Is it really any wonder
Why we wage our war upon thee night
When hope has faded from our sight

Smite thy hand with sword and stone
Blind thy words with slanderous lies
Behind the look of your deceitful eye
While tears are shed with innocent eyes
