there has been a battle
against the world
there has been a losing battle
the world rises like leviathan
and keeps rising
and searching for innocent blood
in every corner
in every island
the world leaves its mark
with blood and tears
the world leaves scars and ruin
the world is a cancer
the world is a growth among humanity
the promises of the world are short
the gains of the world are shit
gain the world and lose the earth
gain the world and destroy your soul
the world is a slurry of mud
between ocean and mountain
the world is a monster
slithering onto land
give it a hand, haul it in land
put it on a pedestal, bow down to it
cry out and say to it
cry and and say
oh, what a world
