To quell the rebel hearts who dwell
And slither in the slums of Hell,
And sewage spilled in open street.
Plying alleys with our beat
To give the evil eye to those
Who with…

In the beginning
I believed
But found the time for doubting.
He made no sound,
I heard the devil shouting.
I wanted peace,

Collateral damage, we don't…
