Bloodshed Academy

And so the halls stretched on

The halls stretched on

Scattered footprints crashed off the austere walls

The people ran for their minds

Oh, how they ran

From their minds

As if they weren't suffocated

Innocence is but a bygone here

In the congested Bloodshed Academy

 

Nobody remembers who they were before

Class 101 diminishes what purity survived before

Boys are taught to ravish with splendor

After how to brandish a killing machine

Oh, how they earn top marks

They murder by the machine

As if skill didn't come natural

The teachers are the finest

In this world we call Bloodshed Academy

 

What have they done to the less fortunate?

To question them is simply unfortunate

Girls stain them purple behind closed doors

Be it fur or novel skin

The experiments never cease at the B.A.

And everyone kills a color that fails to mirror their skin

The classes thrive, holding students hostage

Teaching youth to hate since birth

People everywhere add fuel to Bloodshed Academy

 

Only the outcasts ask for a cure for war

Insanity, the few say, is fighting war with war

Still the bombs keep dropping

Many lives are snuffed in the name of glory

A small word they are taught to put so much behind

The star students kill for power and glory

Awaiting their graduation, a homicidal epidemic

Of terror and dystopian mayhem

Has there ever been such an academy?

 

In the congested Bloodshed Academy

Innocence is but a bygone

As if they weren't suffocated

From their minds

Oh, how they ran

The people ran for their minds

Scattered footprints crashed off the austere walls

The halls stretched on

And so the halls stretched on

 

Made it this far? Now read it backwards. :)
