Weep

Battles come 
Battles go 
Be the hammer 
Not the nail 

Watch the sky 
Eyes without pity 
No sound but the cries of ravens 
And the buzzling of flies 

Weep, for the loss of them 
Weep, for the loss of their blood 
Weep, for what's lost forever 
Weep, if you have a heart 

Men killing men 
Reduced to beast 
Dogs of war 
Weave the web 

How many battles lost 
How many cities burned 
Hatred and the taste of blood 
Hatred, blood and ashes 

Blood feeds blood 
Blood calls blood 
Blood is, blood was 
And blood shall ever be
