The IVth Crusade

Mortified by the lack of conscience,

Our sanctity bears no relevance.

Insignificance is our existence,

Hear the litany of life's persistence.

Our pleas for mercy fall upon

unhearing ears,

Take my life, my soul, wipe away these

bitter tears.

Vanquished in the name of your god,

One of the same to whom we all pray.

Vanquished in the name of your god,

One of the same to whom we onced

prayed

Try to close my mind - From the

screams I hear,

Repentance is denied, the

conformation of my fear.
