Feel As Though You Could

by Iron butterfly

Rebellion, oh cheap thrills and vacant youth.
Carry out your own will.
Shovel deep and bury truth.
Social stain, punk wreck, mother's own defect.
Sing that song you know oh so well
Sing it one foot in hell.
Eyes wide black
Turn your back
Oh how the foolish will see how every man does bleed.
The vultures circle, halo of the dead.
Another vicious circle, swallow what you're fed.
Be true to your dissent.
Somehow...
Feel as though you could (in all your petty suffering)
Burn this down.
Rejection of weak trends and fake hate.
This is what you're fighting for
Some fool's mistake.
I will devour you, I'll overpower you.
Rise from the ashes, screaming eternity.
Ignite upon these words
And breathe defeat.
Your shallow words make Hell for wood and stone, fleshed bone
This alone.
