This is a canvas of emblazoned roses and blood
Where red-stained wedding veils defined the word love
It's a blessing for most but a suicidal pact for some
We'll die by the sword, there's no peace without guns
There's no peace without justice and retaliation
This whole unfolding plot exposes a commotion:
It's the same old anecdote of a poor folk being ghosted
Pregnant women and children die in the guns being unloaded
I'm overly desensitised over the rising death tolls
The names of our friends are probably written down on the death scrolls
We say they deserve it, no space to atone
All our tears evaporated to fill an ocean in the ozone
That's probably why the sky is coloured blood as of late
To remind us that we'll pay for every life that we take
I am no believer of religion and judgement day
But even Jesus Christ didn't sacrifice himself for this kind of hate
Just imagine that I was your brother
Who resorted to this life when my pay couldn't fill our plate
My fix was only my salvation from starvation
And it almost made me crazy 'fore I could die from overdosage
They say forgive but not forget
But forgiveness is forgotten when it's a petty lawbreaker
And forgetting becomes a virtue when it's a villainous dictator
You shot me with no mercy as you blindly worshiped your false saviour
