Dogs of War

Kneel, crying, amidst the dust and ash So frail the gods you claimed could save you The earth writhes beneath that ruinous hand Pouring forth the cup of wrath prepared Black, we are so black Dark as void, our hollow souls cry Knowing not what we lack I'll hear your Screams, as ravens tear at your still living flesh Plucking eyes from sockets wide and gleaming Crawl, as sightless worms, in your own reek and filth Voices raised to rage against the sky Winnowed like grain, feeding flames With the chaff of your lives The smoke from the fire, a nation's funeral pyre Blocks the sun Scatter coals to the wind Now watch the blaze spread See nations subsumed By the weight of the dead Watch Caeser rise with Ate by his side Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war "Blood and destruction shall be so in use, and dreadful objects so familiar That mother's shall but smile as they behold, their children quarter'd with hands of war" Open graves, and scatter bones, to eat your fill of death The marrow that you suck sweet with disease A toothsome feast, the meat of kings, a banquet freshly laid So I repay the wickedness you've dared Winnowed like grain, feeding flames With the chaff of your lives The smoke from the fire, a nation's funeral pyre Blocks the sun Scatter coals to the wind Now watch the blaze spread See nations subsumed By the weight of the dead Watch Caeser rise with Ate by his side Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war
