Root Of All Evil - Sacred Oath

As I contemplate

A world of love and hate

Of man against man

I wonder if this could be the end

Of a planet in decay

Is mankind to blame

For abusing our freedoms

And grafting the root of all evil?

Money

Power

Or animal desire

Ego

Hatred

Some say we’re all born wicked

Lazy

Crazy

In acts of desperation

Is greed

The creed

Of a bankrupt nation?

We’re all looking for paradise

In the arms of a god

But we’re living in the paradigm

Of a lightning rod

In our epitaph

Who will have the last laugh

As our bones turn to dust

And our apples ripen to a red rust?

We live what we believe

Our faith too blind to see

We gave away all our freedoms

And there lies the root of all evil

Root of all evil

Root of all evil

Envy

Anger

Depravities of hunger

Pride

Vainglory

All tell the human story

Murder

For hire

Of these tales we never tire

We sold

Our souls

For eternal fire

In our epitaph

Who will have the last laugh

As our bones turn to dust

And our apples ripen to a red rust?

We lived what we believed

Our faith too blind to see

We gave away all our freedoms

And there lies the root of all evil

Root of all evil

Root of all evil
