The Assassin

It's time to ask ourselves…  "If not now, when?  If not me, who?"  We have only this time and ourselves. We are here now and we are the heroes we're waiting for.

Justice is highjacked

mercy is imprisoned
the future murdered as
inhumanity slays humanity

America in the crosshairs
the assassin takes aim
right there in front of you
you look on in silence

The sword of Justice stolen
by the meaty fist of Injustice
An ancient sin possesses
minds with promises of power

Power betrays faith and honor
shattering hope and peace
Justice prevails -- no more
democracy slain in silence

Sword and scales wielded
in screaming ignorance
Unashamed Injustice wins
Justice prevails -- no more.

Our democracy is slain
Hate will be your assassin
financed by the oligarchy
Will you still remain silent?
