Gods of war



Blood,
Dust,
Ashes,
Fire,
Love,
Burnt bones,
Empty souls,
Empty homes,
One of these things does not belong,
I'd tell you myself,
But wouldn't you rather scry it out yourself?
Have your God tell you what you think you need to know.


These Gods of war we serve,
The fights we start in their names,
The relations we tear apart for their sakes,
Blood spilled for "just causes"
People crippled with frantic prayers on their lips,
The things we tell ourselves,
Convince ourselves that the wars we start,
Are for their sake and not ours,
I see that you may not want to listen,
So you can wage your wars in the name of your God,
And I'll wage my wars in the name of mine.
