The Great Reward

Is death a thing of honor
An immortal taste of fame
Or does it bring you horror
To be a forgotten name
It always seems worth wanting
When a comrade is to die
Yet they'll use it in your taunting
As you scream your battle cry

Now they come, the souls enticed
Don't they look so surprised
Exchanging fame for sacrifice
The truth's unanalyzed

To Valhalla your friends will go
Death is the Great Reward
And Hades will consume the foes
That have fallen to your sword
To send you on the killing floor
A bribe is all it is
Our country will not win the war
Unless the other dies for his

Now they come, the souls enticed
Don't they look so surprised
Exchanging fame for sacrifice
The truth's unanalyzed

Hell is the inferno
That threatens all mankind
Heaven is the smoke that grows
Poisoning your mind
Only when despair is vast
Will I bow down for my gods
But that is when they have passed
My logic is so flawed
