Plan Of Execution

barren landscape of a ravaged world 
forgotten remnants of a savage war 
vultures scatter, buzzards swarm 
darkness descending from the heavens' scorn 
the caches of riches mean nothing now 
a scalpless keleton wears the crown 
empires fall and all are equal in death 
peasant and slaver take their last breath their last breath 
hand in hand, time after time, insane despots 
execute by design, taking the world down 
with them in vain, colors fade into a sea of grey 
no in blindness, life stops breathing 
no signs of life but the scavengers feasting 
no signs of life, no signs of life, no signs of life
