"GODS OF WAR I CALL YOU, MY SWORD
IS BY MY SIDE.
I SEEK A LIFE OF HONR, FREE FROM
ALL FALSE PRIDE.
I WILL CRACK THE WHIP WITH A BOLD
MIGHTY HAIL.
COVER ME WITH DEATH IF I SHOULD
EVER FAIL.
"GLORY, MAJESTY, UNITY
HAIL, HAIL, HAIL. "

They dance together
He dances with
A bloody leg
Which cracks and pops
With
Every step
He takes
She dances
With a broken arm
And a cracked neck
They dance to a
Creepy tone
Of misery
As they dance
She lays her head on his
Chest and purrs
He holds her to him
And slowly he
Twirls her around
Him
Each step large
Drops of blood fall
To the hard wood floor
They still dance together.

More real than solid earth;
And to these death does not mean decay,
But only another birth"
