Ancient Memory - Izz

An ancient memory from a slippery past

Controls your thoughts and imprisons your mind

You thought that life would last

You didn’t think your time was passed

A dictator with a slippery finger

A madman in a refugee camp

A soldier’s hollow memory lingers

An ancient memory from inside your mind

Controls your thoughts and imprisons your dream

It takes the edge off the blame

To go around saying His name

Decisive maladies like you

Always know exactly what is true

Drop the fear on your own

And your soul has been blown

Handing out your orders still

We all starve and yet we do your will
