The beast came with strong horns
Beyond natural boundaries
Stealing liberty and morality
A stain on a white garment.

The warlords flogged
Under these contaminated clouds
Empty stomachs, poverty laughs
Dry eyes, diluted system.

I walk with a perplexed mind
Hard work with no heels
A damaging evil at every level
A woman with a series of miscarriages.

The rich cries, the wealthy chuckles
Supply and demand holding spears
The laughter of the beast, crazy
Confused heads, suicide swallowing.

Drowning foreign exchange
Rising stock market
Thousands in the graves
Optimists worship the beast.

Hard times, difficult days
The lessers and the elites' crumbs
A system dedicated to keep
They don't care if the beast kills us all.
