I saw it on their faces
When the worst was on
They wore it on their sleeves
Like only they can
With x, y and z
Soon the equations beset
On one side you place the guilt
On the other you place the farce
That cries, sobs and weeps
The dirty trick was on
To balance the sides
Like ghouls we preyed on the dead
With blood all over the graveyard bed
Shouts of shattered dreams
And shapeless scattered screams
Seemed to wake us up at last
But we reneged only too fast
Like autumn leaves of the east
The fall attracted only a holiday crowd
The drift happened before our eyes
With no one making raucous cries
That silence spoke so much then
Doesn’t matter today
For we have opened our mouths
And let lies go on a grand parade
