Saving the Damsel, by Amory McKeever



She held open the golden door
For those who needed rest 
She stood for something more 
A memory buried in our chest 
Now sentinels watch our every move 
Their lies pit brother against brother 
For finally when the war was over 
We traded one Magneto for another 

It's been broken record 
As far back as I can see 
That every time we won a war 
We lost who we fought to be 
That every time we found a cure 
We became the next infected 
That Supermen may die for us 
But Lex Luthors get elected 

You think you'll be forgiven
When history is written
Whether it be kings or queens
It's always the villain
Who says the ends
Justify the means

If we really wanted peace and love 
We most certainly have failed 
A long train of usurpation 
Is steaming down the rail 
That locomotive never slacks 
With the end of liberty ahead 
Can we ever change our tracks
Before the damsel is dead

You think you'll be forgiven
When history is written
Whether it be kings or queens
It's always the villain
Who says the ends
Justify the means

We need moe than just a whistle stop
Is our Constitution just a prop

You think you'll be forgiven
When history is written
Whether it be kings or queens
It's always the villain
Who says the ends
Justify the means

It's always the villain
Who says the ends
Justify the means
