Rebirth?

With the blazing rain of guilty blood, it showers down like the black death 
Like serpents that crawl our land, they eat like devils, In a burning hell 
With ankles deep in a forbidden grave, symbology has written a historian slave 
Sleeping giants are under the covers, studies show that visions never change 

As a rebirth, would we ever be so selfish into thinking we are complete 
As religion, will the sacred truth ever reveal itself to the holy breed 
As a population, is our own destruction being manipulated and controlled
As mass murder can be created, I'm staring into the eyes of a black crow 

From voices of the people 
To a church tower steeple 
Is this a suffering creation?
Will we witness a dying nation?

Let the bell ring out over the iron filled sky to drown out humanities lies 
If all we have left is our soul, why are we so hungry to run and hide
Let the river flow through this city of mine, to wash away the sins of the world
If all that we carry is guilt, why not live and try to love, on this once beautiful earth 

Forgive and forget all the devastation 
Let's invent, create, using imagination 
For true happiness, we're still searching 
Science or religion? we're still learning
