This Is War

So you dare to condemn me
You agree on my methods
You try to imitate me
But you fall short on records

I find it entertaining
You hide behind false pity
My thoughts are so engaging
You find cleverness stifling

Color me a new halo
One that’s filled up with evil
Paint yours docile and mellow
So your heart sets the beating

Don’t forget to point at me
To publicly “humiliate me”
It takes more than a taunting
To get me to surrender

You don’t know it, but I
Come from death and from sorrow
I had to strongly rise
Or forever be hollow

Which is why I don’t care
For your cheap shots that clearly
Are born from fear and hate
That inside you are swirling

You don’t know what it’s like
To work hard for success
You want this easy life
That’s mediocre at best

I feel sorry for you
You will never know glory
So go seek out refuge
Behind your little story

But before you’re to leave
I want you to reflect
On all your deadly sins
You so deeply respect

Mark my words on this day
I declare: “This Is War”
Are you match to my threat?
Pray to God you survive
