In The Middle East

A dark hooded figure stood in my way on a dream path
Pointed a skeletal finger at me, "God is releasing his wrath"
Take a look at the chaos today and do the math
How many lives left does thou hath?

He then climbed upon the saddle of his pale ride
Straddling the magnificent white hide
I knew then there was no way for man to turn the tide
Oh so many times in my life all those who lied,

All nations of beasts gathering for a final feast
Soldier's blood at Armageddon in the Middle East
A confrontation that rational minds would prefer the least
A storm not silenced until all human voices have ceased,

Hail stones will fall like weapons from the sky
It won't take long until death drowns out the cries
The human race has forever been perpetuated by lies
Just like the good man that a woman defies,

In a nation driven less and less by God or love
This is the global nightmare that fear is made of
Is this what it takes to put an end to the push and shove?
Yet, the meek shall inherit all like a little white dove,

Sometimes I wonder when and where
After I gave up on whether or not you cared
A family gone now with which I can no longer share
The idiots and thugs how they make such a perfect pair,

Have to remember that faith must triumph over despair
As I fear mankind is way beyond any repair
Human nature turned kindness into a commodity so rare
Don't you even wonder why little seems fair?

Now if you'll excuse me there's work to be done
Half the times in my dreams it seems I'm on the run
And for all the sorrow that seems to weigh a ton
Did you find your messiah are you really having fun?
