Why try to crawl,
when all we want is for you to run?
Why do you run,
when you cannot escape?
Why do you climb,
when you must fall?
Why do you try to lead,
when you are forced to follow?
We are those
enjoying the chase.
We are those
that watch the followers.
We watch you fall
when you cannot climb.
We watch you run knowing in the end we
will be eating you.
We burn in the fires of our righteousness,
while the world around us falls into cold shadows.
We are not the light of a herald
or the heat of life eternal.
We are the conflagration here to burn you all.
