The price of innocence

Protest taken to the streets
Turned them into battlegrounds
An attempt to reign what once was theirs
Opposing countless threats
No hesitation in their onslaught
There is only one law
Uncompromisingly taken to the extreme
Now warlike violence reddens the morning haze
While boiling blood drowns all common sense
Rats are fighting over the bones of the slain
The plague is weaving a shroud
To hide the innumerable dead
The moment is here, long awaited
Strive for purification
Innocence bought at the ultimate price
No one is innocent
