Without right and wrong
There is only power
This is how I rule my kingdom
Mortal men are flighty
Their tempers quick to change
The smallest spark ignites their anger
And sends them burning worlds to ashes
His land is mine
His wife is mine
His riches are mine
I teach them how to take
Without bloodlust
There is no power
This is how I rule my men
They bow and pray in temples, but
Their willing sword decides the victor
Where blinding fury reigns the strongest
There, too, you’ll find my favor
O God of War, let me destroy them!
O Ares, Ares, bring me glory!
O Ares, bring me victory!
I teach them how to ****
Without bloodshed
I have no power
This is how I rule my subjects
Bleeding bodies soaking battlefields
All are offerings, sacrifices
Gifts made for my favor
And the glory of my name
I’ll take it all by force of sword
Slash and burn until it’s mine
There’s no mercy from my hands
I teach them how to war
