I am Death

I am the Executioner

I am the Artist behind the mask

I am the Creature behind the task

I am called Killer by some

I am called Savior by others

I am both, I am Mankind

The Killers walk among us

The Killers have become us

The Killers are defined by us

Humanity has finally become defined by Death

Or was it that way all along

Why is it that we as the killers define what is murder?

Why is it that death surrounds us but we only see life?

Why is it when we are surrounded by lies?

We shout this is truth!

Humanity defines murder as the death of another

Humanity sees murder as cold blooded killing

Humanity defines murder as a common evil

Humanity defines murder as life

Murder is more than just the loss of life

Murder is more than just the cause of mortal death and pain

Murder is the executioner of the innocent

Murder is done by all

Oh the horrid cutting edge of a persons tongue

Oh the death a one can cause without touching anyone

Oh the torture a blank stare can cause

Death is seen in the eyes of the innocent as they are lost

Oh the pain that is seen in their eyes

Even as we watch them die

Who are we to define murder?

We the killers of the innocent

Who are we to define murder?

We the primal torturer of the soul

Who are we to define murder?

We cannot do it not any more

I am death

I am the executioner

I am the artist behind the mask

The unspoken focus of religion

I am the creature behind the mask

Set aside by the politicians

I am called killer by some

Death

I am called savior by others

Executioner

I am both savior and executioner

I am mankind

I hear your cry

I await your orders
