Long ago

I swore an oath

An oath, so simple, and complex

That is to kill and to forgive

And yet my sins will doom me

My enemy is the only known to men

No perfection arose after god's initial creation

But the grasp of his hands where men fail.

These who precede me, guided by millenniums of forging

Psychological and biological

Leaves me the sin, to commit and to abide in agony

Because no truth is worse than knowing your enemy

And yet look into their eyes, and see you are the same.

Fellow brothers and sisters

No pain must be stronger than love, yet love is pain

No painful consequences should be taken

And men shouldn't be individual

Cause your enemy is your brother.

To survive is to adapt

And there's no other way than taking this brief time of savagery as example

Because known is the destiny of the dead

And the toll it takes on the living beings

No man should bury their sons

And no brother should kill another.

Yet, being a heir of men, like you

I cannot change the world

Because I'm no god

Not alone

Not during I see an enemy in a brother.
