Bloodlust

Bloodlust

A Poem by mhylands

Tranquil waters stirred, fires slowly burned

Isis blessed typhoon, mighty hunger yearned

Sword of god’s crusade, smote demon’s she’s made

A vengeful wrath has brewed, an evil we’ve created

 

In the age of colossal monuments

We seek out glorious accomplishments

Another life to memorialize

Another god to idolize

 

Push forth (push forth)

Towards war (towards war)

Until we slake this unquenchable bloodlust

Push forth (push forth)

Towards war (such gore)

Devour foes ‘til our triumphant victory

Sail on, overseas, in the breeze

Frozen water, reeks of death

Icy slur, bleak, it burns

So we must

Push forth (sail forth)

Towards war (such gore)

Push forth (push forth)

Towards war (towards war)

 

Hear the oceans roar

Steer the ship with oar

Fear the deathly door

Here in endless storm

 

In the end of days, when time stands still

Seas conquer land and mountains crash down

We shall remain as gods of this world
