I Am the Wargod (Ode to the Battle Slain)

From the dawn of time man has always sought to Allay his fears From the demons without And the demons that surely lurk within Don't look for a rhyme or a reason to the story Now is not the time, the season, no glory Don't look for a moral or right to this tale Don't look for the saviour for your weak and your frail I am the War God I am the War God I am the War God I am the War God I am the God who demands the sacrifice I am the God who gives pause, and gives to their beings There are many bridges to be crossed And many more to burn There are many bridges to be crossed And many more to burn I would sooner see you dead Than hear your poisoned words Slain upon a battle field Your voice cannot be heard I would suffer a thousand years A thousand years in silence My advice to you, is a message in violence 'Cause I am the War God! I am the War God I am the War God I am the War God Though the tale is over The song remains the same Gods and idealism forever call our name So we rise up to the mount With Kings at our command To turn the endless cycle of the savage bloody hand And it's hard to learn from the past When the past is a whore to the last And it's hard to see into the night When your eyes are blinded by the light And it's hard to hold back the hate And it's hard to hold back the hate And it's hard to hold back the hate And it's hard to hold back the hate And it's hard to hold back the hate And it's hard to hold back the hate And it's hard to hold back the hate
