River of Blood

02 Aug 2005

·Quraz

Sold down the river I am heading for disaster. Because I am who I am. With my terrible ability To lead and persuade, To get my way every time. I can be cruel and devious Yet seem the world’s greatest person. I am unique and I have a feeling That my life will end in violence And the river that takes me to the end Flows sticky, red blood. And it’s all over me, Because I made this river, The River of Blood. Its tributaries clear streams, Wept by those I’ve hurt and maimed along my way. Banks littered with bones of those I’ve killed Buried in the mud of my life story. My humanity will die, I won’t fight to keep it. I’ll go everywhere this river takes me And be the monster everybody loves.
