Ares' Feast
Martian Symbols of Conquest
‘Sleep in Chambers and Vaults deep;
Flame of Torch disturbs their rest.
Swing your Scythe - thy Harvest reap!
Well do mighty Blades recall
Flesh they’ve rent from Bones of Men.
Must we hear Valkyries call
‘Fore the Swords will sleep again?
Fathers fall before the Blades,
Son-like Swains set in the West,
Valkyries shriek and shepherd Shades –
Victims of Sword’s Lust for Flesh.
Aeons pass and still they feast –
Ares and his iron-wing’d beasts.
