Who did I send to the other side
My son did I?
O!I smell the rapid ***** of blood
Leaching into the soil on the grounds where my fathers died

And yet this day...
I send my only begotten
My heir unto the very end
That suffering may end
And lawbreakers and wrongdoers may spite
A gift I give unto all humanity

Did you send your sons to fight in a war?
One of servitude and slavery and shame
His warm embrace and chivalry

The women adored a man
Who could tell a story
And two ***** who sang on sinking boat
To find a treasure
Not that they laid a claim to a land
Yet they find not
And such a beauty he loved

Tears of departing lover
He said my love
Say a prayer to old gods and the new
One of victory against a city of menace
Until then shall we shed not tears of despair
A messenger I am of a futile adventure
