"Corrupted Once Shot"

A leaden bullet, dangerous indeed,
with which to penetrate our enemy.
Silver glinting within the shell,
tell no stories, see no moon.

Stand alone in the onslaught,
spilt blood and bones to break.
Terrified, you have to leave...
Before it takes you too.

Run away throughout the night,
the blood shall always call.
When you think you are alone,
the shadows will taunt you awake.

Collapse in the sorcery for a time,
to desperately rest before renewed.
Those who watch can only laugh,
cruelty covers these lands.

Sleep on, my baby angel,
until the birds cry free.
The sun shan't rise until the tears
are wiped clean from the slate.

Innocence is the color of white,
floating and carefree.
When the darkness ceases to kill,
that is when you can fly.

Everyone has an innocence,
a certain purity to us all.
But it's often tainted or thrown away,
you only have it once.

This innocence can only last so long,
till touched by the lead monstrosity.
Once then, it's killed and destroyed...
And so, corrupted once shot.

Those who destroy are seeking to rule,
to take over our soft world.
Turn us all into mindless 'yes-no' men,
and make us all alike.
