Arterial Deluge

Drunk with blood
Reddened field of death
Pretext of justice
The greatest of all crimes

War that never ends
Send other sons off to die
Safe in your high seat
Never face the lie

Sodden from his wounds
Body whole broken
Scars of war fester inside
Nothing left of life

Sound of lamentation
Raised up in cities
Shackled by misery
No use for relief

Clever men sat apart
Secret council
Nothing remained to enjoy
In their native land

Body broken by wounds
Asunder torn his mind
He was just another man's son
Who refused to hide

Still the perverse creature
Urged them on with his words
Nothing but fiendish deceit
He led them to the end

He seeks to subjugate
Those he claims are free
And then to put in chains
All that he would see

Patience he has not
To enslave the world
To rack up his numbers
'neath his flag unfurled

Sodden from his wounds
Body whole broken
Scars of war fester inside
Nothing left of life
