Fuck this, I'm done arguing Our fate is not bound to your cold foretelling And the doctrine that you serve does not serve this discussion Irrelevant nonsense disqualifies you
It's a sonnet There's no way to put a ribbon on it While you're leaving The rest of us will be here grieving Cradling our reason
Hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Shame Sing the words in line and prey Hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Shame Walk, willfully in reins
Hurricanes are coming like empires Rising seas your willful God's damning lake of fire And your certainty dismisses solution The result of our behavior is the reason that you run
It's a sonnet There's no way to put a ribbon on it While you're leaving The rest of us will be here grieving Cradling our reason
Hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Shame Follow the party line and prey Hallowed be Thy Shame, Thy Name March willingly into...
Wars won't be named, won't be framed, won't be strange You and not just them will fight for land, hanging man, Will you still prey then?
I'm done arguing Our fate is bound to innovation, not theory or fiction That book you love but never read shouldn't leap into debate Especially when your faith absolves you of empathy Accountability
Hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Shame Sing the words in time and prey Hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Shame Fight for a home in the name In the name
We will be killing for it
