Afraid of This World - Purification

Afraid of this world

Afraid of what surrounds me

Where living beings are used as things

And greed and avarice prevail

Over all justice and decency

Girls selling their bodies in the streets

Forests burning, wildlife disappearing

And children dying without even being born

An entire planet feeding on carcasses

Overpopulated and polluted, addicted to drugs and alcohol

Blood and sweat pouring from the hands

Of a society on the verge of self-annihilation

Hostage of weakness and debauchery

As I venture into the realms of corruption and vice

A sea of famished filthy hands reach to infect me

Innocence is dying in this sick and lonely world

Careless of all indentity, desperate and cold

Fall from a grace

They cower and plead

For mercy and leniency

For salvation and release

But the chance to redeem is far off memory

There is no salvation to be seen
