The broken city walls stand before me
The former citizens now cling to desperate illusions
The black glass towers stand empty
Except for those that are used for inhuman torture
The only sound is the faraway screams from the torture chambers

This is our real home

I write these lines of truth from within

I am here because of what I am…an animal of free will.

The world is dying…the people are slowly fading

Corruption waits in every corner of civilization

Our leaders kill for profit and gain…they walk free

They are afraid of me because I have seen through their petty lies.
They know that I know

This night I make my journey through these endless passages
A free animal
Focused on only one thing
The hunt
