The warmongers in their sacred Reich
With no comprehension of what it's like
To perish for another ideal vanity
Gutters lined with death, for insanity
Black skied, brooding, virulent epoch
Battle wrought infernos with massing stock
Bodies catapulted against a flesh wall
Memory stripped sides, forgotten fall
Their unsanctioned actions were justified
As long as the children never cried
Opposing cavalry blend for indulgence to see
into an indistinguishable red marquee
And as the final soldier stood in awe
Conviction through faith his only flaw
Not knowing the reason for this dystopia
A case of forced martyr amnesia
Ascending to the corpse summit edifices
Snakes emerging from his orifices
To preach a frightening truth for all the ghosts
Embryonic captor, apathetic host
Morbidly translated tale of liars who were tirelessly building
Eventual spiritual demise, moral Golgotha instilling
Crafted lucidly with traditionalist care
Betray the church, who would dare?
Droning for ages as rot turns to dust
Slating the crows in their anaphoric lust
The sky shreds open and begins to flood
but what next comes is not savior's blood
Just another rain embracing faceless gray
the skeletons can't feel the cynical chilling fray
Encompassing moss clings to dehydrated marrow
Relics to hell's short ruling of rusted harrow
All these lives that were religiously sold or bought
What an anticlimactic waste, all suffering for naught
