Dirge for America

Hope has died across this opaque land
where none will dare or understand.
The endless snow, and broken thoughts
the principles that we've forgot/

Old dear America, she's dead, she's gone
an empty vessel for what went wrong
a home for slaves to wage and stolen fruit
the million strong who got the boot

Audacious hope for freedom's touch
embrace the lie - you have too much
a home, a car, gadgets, and gidgets too
everything except anything that might be true

America, she dead, she's buried cold
a rotting corpse bejeweled in mold
The endless dirge of health and state
of hopeless hope and a man too great --

too audacious to fail or fall
The one, the only, best of us all.
At home in our greatest sins
with wordless words and empty wins

Wretched America, I wail for thee
for all you were to men like me
The endless joy of spacious land
the perfect tribute to God's perfect plan

With you, now all hope has passed
today, I see the you've breathed your last
I have no home, no dreams or faith
- I can not see my freedom's wraith

America, the dust of justice blows
across your breast then goes
past the moon, in starlight displayed
the only place your flag still waves

Truth's a lie and Hope has ended
nothing's left that can be mended
Audacious dreams, Spacious skies,
perhaps it was just pretty lies

Oh America, I can not see
the dawn's light or opportunity
The brave are weeping loudly,
for the banner they defended proudly

I did not hear your whimpered breath
when you took our liberty to your death
and left us with these fools and frauds
alone to live without our Gods

America, America, you sad dead place
I weep for you, in your disgrace.
