Nothing
Some thing
A ghost
A shadow
Mired in shadows
Except look at her really
Everything that does or will exist dances across the corners of her eyes
No-one
Silent one
Machine
Dangerous
Made for danger
Except look at him really
The fires that will burn down your kingdom rage in the stiffness of his lips

I want people to understand him but they won't
They love their children
Their own children
And only their own children
They don't understand how power works
And they don't understand how worthless life is when all that's in front of you is how worthless you're told to think other people are

Fatherland oh Fatherland you want to sculpt and mould me
Sculpt me mold me, paint and press me into conformity
Materials so pretty, made of murdered bodies
Make me love and want and own the lifestyle of finery

I’d rather die than have your selfish morals
I’d rather starve than eat when others can’t
I’ll give all I have for love universal
You don’t make me feel sorry with your rant
———
Motherland oh Motherland you bleed but still you guide me
You bleed and guide, you weep inside, and you always worry
Your loss, grief, and poverty. Your lies and honesty.
No matter what rulers say I give you my loyalty
———
I’d rather die than go against your morals
I will not eat because your people can’t
I’ll give all I have for love universal
I’ll follow you no matter how they rant

Fatherland hits Motherland
He shouts and screams and rages
Economy fuelled by blood
Her people must earn wages
Fatherland hits Motherland
He thinks he is a good man
Her stitched mouth and soul that floods
I must do all that I can
———
I’d rather die than have Fatherland’s morals
I will not eat because Motherland can’t
Humanity is for love universal
I heed her silenced I don’t heed his rant
