I've known hatred

I've known hatred:
I've known hatred as ancient as the world and older
    then the flow of human blood in human veins.

My soul has grown treacherous as hatred.

I soiled the shores of Normandy when dawns were
     young.
I destroyed homes in the City of Troy and it
     prevented me to sleep.

I looked upon the Amazon Rain Forests and raised
    Monsters of Industry above it.
I heard the cries of the Trail of Tears the Native
    Americans went down to Oklahoma and I've
    seen it's sore feet turn red in the sunset.

I've known hatred:
Ancient, boiling hatred.

My soul has grown treacherous as hatred.
