Hero's Grave

Forcing affliction on those who can't resist

What kind of madness leads men to this?

Guilty members of a lunatic fringe

Faith so enthralling, let's start a murder binge

Interrupting chaos of someone else's fantasy

Breaking into the vision of a blood-drenched monogamy

Putting yourself between the hammer and the nail

Clueless of the mortal, the degenerate will assail

Is their life worth it? To gamble with your life?

Not knowing any info, especially the price

Not a family member, or even that of a friend

To a faceless icon, you move to defend

Acting like you're superior in almost every way

Time to put up or shut up, now this is your day

Better have some rage to draw from, I know this

Or have some free advice, mind your fucking business

Interfering, indiscreetly

Must stop this completely

Obstruction of this action can be the only way

Not counting on fellow patrons, fearful, frozen, they stay

Isolated and frantic, the perp's eyes turn solely to you

Adrenaline spilling over, righteous violence, ready to imbue

Disregard of consequence, too late for any advice

Only a deathly annoyance, killing him will suffice

You think you're up to the moment, get ready to find out

Fear that has immobilized others from joining this bout

Not knowing if he is alone, tunnel-vision, oblivious

Now you are committed, facing what comes from this

Who's grave?

Purgatory of outcome

In a hero's grave

A hero's grave

No rules left for me

Last rites, now we'll see

Shock and awe, you bear witness

Deed is done, the wretchedness

Prideful, spiteful, anxious

Your britches seem too big

Regret, too late, you're spent

A hero's grave to dig!
