Interlude for a Dream – Tom Kane

Make way for the rape of Naples
The breeding of braindead
May the binding of Isaac proceed

Bleed, lest ye live to escape
Sacrifice
for future never comes
Leading you on, out of your league
Defending to the death, left out to dry
Acceptable losses, all for the cause
The alarm will never sound

Waiting, on your knees
Prostrating to the least
Prayers left unanswered, offerings left unheeded
Shrouded in leather and lace
placed upon the altar of ecstasy

Tides sweep in, the slime of life
Colorblind, generalized
Apathetic to grievances
Stained with the mark
Promising
whispering
The life that could have been
That could be
That will
