Divide - Jeff Williams

Does it feel good knowing you tried?

Knowing that all that remains

Is the slow, cold, brutal death

Of the fools that will all die in vain?

How does it feel

Knowing your efforts will fail?

All that you’ve built will be torn down

The hope of your people assailed

Send your guardians, they will fail

Legends and heroes will crumble and fall

You will not prevail

When allied together, a threat men display

Divide them with doubt, it will all wash away

One spark can incite their hope

And ignite the hearts of their weary souls

I will extinguish that flame

Form your armies, dream your dreams

Make your plans and plot your schemes

Send your fighters one and all

Then in battle, watch them fall

It was you who ended their lives

Made them to dig their own graves

With your dark, sick, cruel design

Convinced them their world could be saved

Have you no shame

Signing them up for your war?

Train them to fight what they can’t beat

Your sins are what they’ll pay for

Sacrifice them for your needs

Slaughter is coming, the end drawing near

You’ll regret your deeds

Legends and fairy tales scattered in time

Maidens and kingdoms wrapped up in a lie

These children you mislead

You’ll watch them all bleed

Strength will not bring victory

Divide them

Tear them apart

Sever their trust, it will strangle their hearts

Inside them

Plant seeds of doubt

Hope will be smothered

They’ll turn on each other

Hatred will sprout

Suspicion and doubt

Friendships deny while allegiances die

The taste will be sweet when you get what you’ve earned

And I’ll watch you burn
