Peace

Father judge us; today we shall fall, as sins, upon this world. Mother, commend your children; in your name, today, we shall be stained with fratricide.

Earth feed, of blood, ours and theirs, of bodies, ours and theirs.

Heaven welcome, the souls, ours and theirs. Honor, lead our soldiers, to victory, let valour not fall in vain, let no death rise.

Wrath rampant, let not guilt fade, theirs and ours; man, who took man's life at my side shall fall and yield, man's life at his side.

Let fear be petal of spring, let it wither and be prostrated by unconsciousness, storm of winter.

Soldiers, chop off heads, gouge out eyes, shred limbs, until life itself has repudiated you; you are embodiment of evil, hymn its name, raise its banner, hunt, gouge, skin, until every banner is stained with blood, theirs and yours.

Let your fathers be an admonition to you; you are free men, believe only in life and death, captivity disgusts you, pierce your heart or pierce a heart: let no life be yielded to bondage.

We are primal beings, senseless beasts; we live among savagery, we die for glory.

The life of a soldier, it lasts an instant, an instant only, an instant and man turns into beast, an instant and nature takes its course, an instant and life is yielded or taken

If you and I were forced to fight, to the death, you, would you die for me?

If you and I were forced to fight, to the death, me, would I die for you?

Perhaps if we were all a little weaker, that utopian peace we have been seeking since the dawn of time might materialize.
