Cages Crumble

Masks drop to the ground
Cages crumble down

Fear expected
yet a silent cheer

Oppression and violence never stops the brain
People struggle to stay sane

Chaos and confusion can no longer reign

Violent reactions equalling true change

The heart attack machine will not be allowed to remain

After the thunderous echos of the crumbling concrete mazes,
Peace will be restored
Madness turned to bliss

Chaos resolved

All remaining become one

Survival

Civilization — a reality

For this savage machine fueled by greed will be swept away in torrential rains

The Phoenix will Rise
Beauty Restored

Harmony

Coexistence, no longer forgotten

Screeching winds calm to serenade
as the Phoenix flaps it’s wings
