i made this on the winter solstice.
it’s spoken word, layered as a poem over my song, madman’s lies.
i first recorded this song on the winter solstice in 2023.
two years later, i’ve shaped it into a new creation—
offered as a prayer for peace.
throughout the piece, i’ve woven in the song’s lyrics,
blocked as quotes within the text below.
if you can, listen.
the words feel different when the music is surrounding them.
poem for peace
we didn’t come here to kill each other
we didn’t come here to hate
we came here to be free
we came here to love
and love we will
murder in the name of glory
madness disguised as holy
a lesson in the fable
cain killed his brother abel
the madness disguised as holy
cain killed abel out of jealousy,
out of misunderstanding
but they were brothers
we are brothers and sisters
yet another day of genocide
but we, the people, can decide
find truth in the tale
break free from our mental jail
the genocide will continue
until we, the people, decide otherwise
it’s up to us
it was never up to the few
find truth in the tales
break free from our mental jails
it won’t happen alone
don’t trust the madman’s lies
we can create a paradise
awaken from the spell
war’s an inside job as well
we will create a paradise
when we awaken and see
war was always an inside job
yet another day of genocide
but we, the people, can decide
find truth in the tale
break free from our mental jail
another day of genocide
until we, the people, decide
we have what it takes in our hearts
we have what it takes in our minds
we must break free from our mental jail
and i know the day will come
i feel it in my bones
the day we end all war
is the day we say no more
rise up as one voice
in peace, rejoice
the day we end all war
the day we say no more
rise as one voice
on this solstice
rejoice!
i know we have what it takes—
yet another day of genocide
but we, the people, can decide
find truth inside the tale
break free from our mental jail
the genocide will continue
until we, the people, make a choice
we can decide to do it differently
we can listen to the truth
of the tales we were always told
understand the lies from the truth
and we will break free
from all that bound us
