Barely knew my name but felt ashamed
I'd denied all complicity and my consent
Life had given me much, to consider or not
Others have no reason to try to control me
To repent from all that I've not meant to do
Accepting blame from all who never relent
Being human not in my DNA, I'm alien here
Before me is a slaughter destroying my hope
I hear the drums of war beating in my mind
With each lifetime, I surrendered to a fear
That I've earned my purgative punishmentI'd denied all complicity and my consent
Life had given me much, to consider or not
Others have no reason to try to control me
To repent from all that I've not meant to do
Accepting blame from all who never relent
Being human not in my DNA, I'm alien here
Before me is a slaughter destroying my hope
I hear the drums of war beating in my mind
With each lifetime, I surrendered to a fear
I can't remember the many, due the amount
In dreams of fleeing a horrible mass killer
In those dreams, the fear caused wounds
My erasure by the end will be justice
And that it may just erase my being
Punishment justified by dreams
Watching a triumph, disgusted
Knowing I imagined a fate
Then installed the regime
Due to constant fear
Know, I'm not brave
