The Gods Of War
Three times the gods of war
snatched me from the sky;
three times the gods of war
decreed I shouldn't die.
The gods of war knew full well
that I must live til I met you;
the gods of war knew full well
that we would be divinely true.
The gods of war are not often kind,
A man to them is but a fragile toy;
The gods of war are not often kind,
But they spared me to discover joy.
All praise to you Aries and Mars
for sparing me to kiss the stars.

No one walks away from three chopper crashes, but I did. Without a scratch. Well, some concussions.
