I am the soul of war
\n<\/span><\/span>a dance of angels cast down
\n<\/span><\/span>for the purchased promises of tomorrow
\n<\/span><\/span>I am the blood of the innocents
\n<\/span><\/span>and the vanquished
\n<\/span><\/span>and the victorious
\n<\/span><\/span>sanguine sacrifices for change<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I am the spirit of your disease
\n<\/span><\/span>a trinket in your pocket thought valuable
\n<\/span><\/span>withheld through greed
\n<\/span><\/span>I am the dead transformed
\n<\/span><\/span>into parables
\n<\/span><\/span>into saintly memorials
\n<\/span><\/span>sanguine sacrifices for change<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I am the price of your religion
\n<\/span><\/span>gold piece of thirty for redemption
\n<\/span><\/span>and sought after forgiveness
\n<\/span><\/span>I am your sons and daughters
\n<\/span><\/span>reaping your fruit
\n<\/span><\/span>reaping the spoils
\n<\/span><\/span>sanguine sacrifices for change<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I am the wisdom of death
\n<\/span><\/span>a catalyst for redistribution
\n<\/span><\/span>the rekindling of dreams
\n<\/span><\/span>I am salvation’s whore
\n<\/span><\/span>forging determination
\n<\/span><\/span>forging the sword
\n<\/span><\/span>sanguine sacrifices for change<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I am the purveyor of fear
\n<\/span><\/span>a seed furtively planted long ago
\n<\/span><\/span>GMO eternally adulterated
\n<\/span><\/span>I am the history of humanity
\n<\/span>seeking homage
\n<\/span><\/span>seeking sustenance
\n<\/span><\/span>sanguine sacrifices for change<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I am your submission
\n<\/span><\/span>a prayer to oil and resources
\n<\/span><\/span>feeding the frenzy of excess
\n<\/span><\/span>I am the cleansing
\n<\/span><\/span>remorseless
\n<\/span><\/span>relentless
\n<\/span><\/span>sanguine sacrifices for change<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I am the soul of war
\n<\/span><\/span>a windstorm of ingrained malevolence
\n<\/span><\/span>unbiased and utilitarian
\n<\/span><\/span>I am the consequence
\n<\/span><\/span>the end
\n<\/span><\/span>the beginning
\n<\/span><\/span>the sanguine tomb of mankind<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
