I Don't Understand

Here in the darkness under an enemy roof
With death strapped to my chest beneath this uniform
Surrounded by a hundred perfect copies of me
Same green eyes, same radiation suit
Same kind of man with a past just like mine.
What turned you into murderers?
Was it when you were stolen from the fire?
or back when the sky first burned and the law burned with it?
or when they melted you and turned you into captives?
Is that why you hunt us?

Or is it for the very same reason that I’ve come here to kill you tonight.
