The Price
(copyright 2011 by Dean Bonzani/Alpine Carcass Publishing)

Siddhartha said that when you hold on to anger
It's like a glowing ember held tight in your fist
If you don't let go, you're the one it will burn
Before it is thrown, you're the one it will burn
You're the one it will burn— if you don't let go
You're the one it will burn— before it is thrown
You're the one it will burn— you're the one it will burn
You're the one it will burn— you're the one it will burn
And you're still looking for a better way
To skillfully wield your resentment and hate
That's your greasy paw on the bone
Your rigid claw clutching the stone
And when it is thrown— that will be your skull
When the payload comes down— that will be your home
That will be your home— that will be your home
That will be your home— that will be your home
And what is the price when you've taken that life
That child in the field— the husband, the wife
The sons and the daughters— the sisters and brothers
The fathers and mothers that you've branded the Other
Will a thousand dollars do?
Will five thousand dollars do?
How many zeros on a check would you want your mom to get
If it was you?
And it will be you. It WILL be you.
In a hallway at night. In a park with your friends.
On a beautiful day. Without any warning.
As you're raising a toast. As you're holding her hand.
And she looks to the sky. It will be you.
It will be you. It will be you. It will be you.
It will be US. It will be us. It will be us.
IT WILL BE US.
