Shadows of the Past

Obscu…obscu…obscu…obscu…obscurity
On the history of past centuries
What have we done
Some of us don’t even know it
Teached amnesia
Horror is lost in a voluntary blurred
But would be complete
If we try to forget it…………

Man is becoming…
The one he always dreamt to be
Fond of peace and justice…
Even if it’s never applied…………
Then he’s longing
To forget what he sadly was
A pitiless ogre
That never appears in worst nightmares……………

What we learn isn’t our fury
That still lead our world today
Or atrocities we’ve done
No war, no dead, no blood, no bastards……………
But only acts to far from us
Who judge past as buried
While present is a perfect copy
With its wars, its deads, its blood, its bastards…………

We musn’t forget what we are able
To be if we follow our instincts
Cause we used to be humans when
What is today called barbary sit in us
But this barbary remains
Silently in our souls
And it will awake if we
Wrongly believe it domesticated………

We’re able of monstrosities
Past’ve ever revealed
Remember our genocides
Or die cause life doesn’t
Deserve us……………
