Army of Me

Army Of Me
By Daniel Finfer

Back at the beginning, I split myself in two
Because the world was just too big to see with such a narrow view.
From the two that I became I knew exactly what to do,
And with another point of view around the world felt fresh and new.

The two that I became soon turned into three and four
I lived a life of peace, and never dreamed I'd start a war
I headed out across the land to conquer and explore
But thats the day I felt the need to split myself some more

The thousands i became began to build their first machines
I started building tiny boats to navigate the seas
I dreamed up new religions but they all just disagreed
And suddenly my new religions started building armies

My boats turned into battleships to put me in my place
The soldiers of myself all wore disguises on their face
I don't feel that responsible, for how could I have known
The enemies i wiped away were soldiers of my own

The war engulfed the planet as my army swept the land
I had to know which side of me would gain the upper hand
The tiny little soldiers were too small to understand
I made me fight against myself to find out who I am

You see the winner of the war would know the shape of things to come
For they alone decide my shape when all is said and done;
I almost caught a glimpse of me, reflecting in the sun
but suddenly the final soldier cursed what I'd become

I lost control of everything, and i became confused
I waged a war against myself I never thought I'd lose
And right before I killed myself, I wondered if they knew
That all along their Mighty God was just a point of view
