Save your bullets and your daggers for the encore
Someone might be worth the hate
Of a dead audience, drunk with power
Despising and dying out of time
In this wake, we dont praise
We shot to kill and we do it well
Always another day, another way
For how long can you breathe
Charades. Masks. A dead mans past
Wrapped in cold money and sold as the truth
Im sorry, but what are we worth anymore
When we all have a price
Thats been spilt on the floor
What makes you think that someone will care?
Brace yourself for the interval; these people wont last the second act
Keep that a secret; its my little surprise
Im going to prove this life has meaning
When Im finished, youll wish you were there
Im a legend in my own right
Just for this act, just for this night
If I go down, Ill go down in flames
With a style and conviction that youd kill to crave
Im murdering greed with an explosion
Made of truth, and used by the honest
Youll never turn your back again
To wonder whose hand held the knife

| Although I feel that the title may throw one off,it's well written,and expresses my thoughts over world politics,and I could actually feel the opera setting. Thanks. |

| I was confused why the poem was called The Plight of the Falling whever its was those who are greedy falling or those who hate greed falling. It does sound like it came out an My Chemical Romance song but apart from that i think its quite good poem. |
