Kill one and you're a murderer; Kill one hundred and you're a soldier; Kill them all and you're a hero.

Someday I shall meet my fate
A path threaded by a force above;
Upon this breath I'll breathe hate,
For those knots I could not love.
My fate has held up my cross
Cold hearted and dirt poor
Until I faced a final loss
Detached from the life before.
