Sapphire

They came to us in holy robes
Sapphire as the sky
They told us that their gods would keep us safe
Don't question the means
The price will be paid by enemies

We struck a deal, they bared a knife
An altar made of stone
What cost a little blood for peace of mind?
The lives of our enemies
Were an offering to appease the gods

The outsiders bled, our walls were strong
But then they turned their eye
Started finding enemies within
Insatiable were the gods
But we willfully let them through the gate

Sapphire robes won't hide the stains
But that was never their intent
