He came from the East,
With white eyes,
And with those pure eyes,
He spoke white lies.
He came from the West,
Bearing teeth white,
And with that beautiful smile,
He told white lies.
They both stood before us,
Then we were called in,
Then we cast the vote,
To slay the throat,
Of someone else's child,
Or our own,
And you know,
One of them did win.
Well I've seen my own brothers,
Fighting to starve the beast,
And I've seen those same brothers,
Walking and talking in their sleep,
Bringing it more to eat.
Because that beast,
It is a shape shifter,
Of color, sex and size,
It is singing hope and love,
A vulture cloaked inside the body of a dove,
In a sky of white lies.
Well the Witches,
Once healed the sick with herbs,
And their toiled bodies did rise,
Until the war lord said,
"Feed them plastic bread,
Give them pills filled with lead,
Make the forest a dread,
Stuff their warm hearts and heads,
With white lies!".
