Bloodlust
We braved the ocean
Landed distant shores
Claimed for his highness
The natives swarmed us
We opened fire
The death-toll grew higher
The captain blows the horn
There can be no pulling back now
For we are too far gone
Blood aflame, it's a massacre
We form a barrier
Corpses piled high
Rifles reach over
A thrown grenade
Limbs scatter far
A cheer from the men
And through a haze of gunpowder smoke
I see the chieftain raise his arms
Lips move in prayer to an unknown god
A single round bursts through his skull
He falls down, a broken man
Incoherent mumbling, staring straight up
I could not see what it was he saw
But then he smiled, and that was all
We wiped them out
Every last one
Gone in the name of our Lord
Landed distant shores
Claimed for his highness
The natives swarmed us
We opened fire
The death-toll grew higher
The captain blows the horn
There can be no pulling back now
For we are too far gone
Blood aflame, it's a massacre
We form a barrier
Corpses piled high
Rifles reach over
A thrown grenade
Limbs scatter far
A cheer from the men
And through a haze of gunpowder smoke
I see the chieftain raise his arms
Lips move in prayer to an unknown god
A single round bursts through his skull
He falls down, a broken man
Incoherent mumbling, staring straight up
I could not see what it was he saw
But then he smiled, and that was all
We wiped them out
Every last one
Gone in the name of our Lord
