The Impossible Light of Death

Open this particular wrath 

And open this particular hell

With each proximate breath 

We delay the arrival 

Of the impossible light of death 

Not a sudden destruction 

Maybe not in darkness 

Maybe not today

But unexpected and unannounced 

Even as they are still rejoicing 

Peace and safety and all the good that will follow

Peace and safety and all the good that they promise 

You know enough to know that they lie and they lie 

And will never uphold the law

Peace and safety but they shall not escape
