A nation once frightened

Now its people united

After a series of plagues

by which they were blighted

A new plague arose

From out of the east,

Leaving people sick,

Immoble, and howling like beasts

Around the world it flew

Like a rock band on tour

Spreading fear, pain,

And death galore

The painful sound of crying

And a cavalcade of hearses

A horrid stench of rotten flesh

All were soon to worsen

And what came next,

For we have no shame

Is what we do so well

Spread hatred and blame

We turned on each other

As if it would help

But further into crisis 

We would soon delve

As bodies piled

And paranoia spread

We were stuck in place

As if we were dead

The peace we gained

Equality we found

We soon stolen 

And burned to the ground

The songs of freedom we sing

And the stories we tell

Are muffled by the sound

Of a nation toiling in hell

Landmarks and values ditched

But hatred and fear were not

A future down this path

Wil cause civilization to rot.
