Weep

Battles come
Battles go
Be the hammer
Not the nail

Watch the sky
Eyes without pity
No sound but the cries of ravens
And the buzzling of flies

Weep, for the loss of them
Weep, for the loss of their blood
Weep, for what's lost forever
Weep, if you have a heart

Men killing men
Reduced to beast
Dogs of war
Weave the web

How many battles lost
How many cities burned
Hatred and the taste of blood
Hatred, blood and ashes

Blood feeds blood
Blood calls blood
Blood is, blood was
And blood shall ever be
