Goodbye, Sweet Liberty

                                  A kiss farewell

Glorious distortion

                       Into the arms of  cataclysm

Manifest Destiny

                                We gather at your funeral

     Struggle to remember

                                          Lowered into the earth

                                                                                        Whimper

                                                Nails dig into the casket

Your cries ignored

                                               Attention

                                                                                           Smile

                                              Troopers  stand at the ready

                Erasing your history
