a simple state

you think of peace as such a simple state

but all that's complex does not end in dark

we find that evil hides within the gate

words uttered by a fool will always grate

and leave on every mind a smudgy mark

you think of peace as such a simple state

the honest man is first to turn irate

when burned by what is not a little spark

we find that evil hides within the gate

we can't control the purpose nor the rate

at which you feed the chum unto the shark

you think of peace as such a simple state

you were the champ but now you are the bait

and not a single dog would dare to bark

we find that evil hides within the gate

it is so easy just to blame dumb fate

and say that the old world is no safe park

you think of peace as such a simple state

we find that evil hides within the gate
