The Eagle flies from sea to sea
Alarmed that he has seen this all before

But the battle lines were much clearer then
As the conflict drew near, each chose sides

Free versus Slave, Blue versus Gray
That sad day was marked with fields of blood

But today all around us are rancor and strife
Where can we find peace and civility anymore?

We are tearing the fabric of this country apart
We pick up guns and kill at shocking rates

Ban guns, and we would pick up knives and clubs
For the evil in our hearts is boundless

The Eagle weeps for what has been lost
The freedoms we won at immeasurable cost

Traditions that bound us together as a Nation of one
Now “Looking out for number one” is the mantra of the day

We cast aside symbols of God’s glory
We banned the Bible, the Cross, the Ten-Commandments, and prayer

Our flag and our country are symbols of our greatness
Once we held them up with honor and pride

But now we burn the flag, curse our country, and deny God’s existence
There is no mention of US in the End Times

Has He turned His back to US?
No one really seems to care

From within, we are rapidly decaying and dying
Family units are passé, class warfare is the norm

How many generations remain before the skeleton of US lay on history’s trash heap?
We will wonder like those great nations who fell before,

“What happened and why?”
It will be too late to wonder then

It will be time to rebuild, if we can
History will not be in our favor

Know how a cryptogram works? :)

Morning is born in the blood of night.
Awash in dark, the cry stays bright:
Glory to God, trust to the Right.
America, the dream, the light.

Yes, I do. The form was intentional so that the "message" wouldn't be missed. I guess I failed.

You didn't fail. ;-)
