Men Of Straw

Skyclad

I pray that soon the blessed meek their world shall inherit 
When all of these bastards are judged by their merits 
And called to account for the acts they've commited 
The jury their victims - no sins are omitted. 

I'd gladly burn these men of straw who beat the weakest hardest 
They sow the seeds of misery - let children reap the harvest 
The "lowest of the low" are they - not fit to share our planet 
They are not men but beasts indeed, so take this beast and hang it. 

Suffer the children - unseen and unheard 
Who live in the dark closets where skeletons stirred 
Behind mental parapets feelings lay hidden 
They cried out for nothing - and nothing were given. 

Why is it so hard to comprehend 
They should not be released to re-offend? 
I think instead that they should take the place 
Of the animals dissected by this so called "Human Race." 

The time has come to take these scum and set a fine example 
The only problem is - I fear no punishment is ample 
Now I am not a violent man - but it would give me pleasure 
To watch these vermin crucified (then kill them at my leisure). 

They rob the young of innocence and then show no repentance 
We should relieve them of their lives - the crime befits the sentence 
Instead set free to hurt again for reasons I can't figure 
Just line them all against the wall and let me pull the trigger.
