ALL MEN ARE BROTHERS

Constant turmoil pollutes the world and brings spoil
Money's not the root of all evil, it's the soil
From which a Crooked, twisting tree protrudes
To cast it's shadows on the plants beside it
Now we're blinded from the true light and raised in ultra violence
All Men Are Brothers, of the same spring
Our river was damned when greed became king
It's royal subjects objective is to maim or kill
to gain what amounts to nothing,
and there remain, mosquitoes swarm when the pool is still
Some chose to look the other way,
soon the other way will reflect the same sick display
Each nation a station of hell's dark stair case
Youth in descent, a vile beast marks their face
There march they save for one grace
One radiant light cutting through the vast blackness
An honor of our universal brotherhood in mass practice
Setting aside frivolous conquest, we see progress
If one man is hungry, all men need
If one man is cut, all men bleed,
One path all men lead

(INSERT CHINESE SYMBOLS)
All men are brothers!

Men who spoke the truth were gunned down in cold blood
And we're drowning in same old flood
Lost in hypnosis
Pleasure mistaken for happiness causes widespread psychosis
To grind against the jagged edge is adjacent to hopeless
By using tension you sacrifice mobility
And stand stagnated in futility; picket signs won't afflict the minds of malicious ministers
or quell their insatiable thirst for wealth that drains an order of corpses,
a strike must be made from within the sorcerer's fortress
A corrupt system will never undergo metamorphosis by being passively berated,
It must be infiltrated
and once control is seized, the heathen agenda is more easily obliterated,
To reduce the slaughter use the fire, but be like water
I am a man of no merit, limited to the verse
I'll die poor and leave behind only words
Could it be enough to inspire another?
If they fry my right side, they'll also need to grill the other
No torture could ever make me turn on my brother
