LAMENTATION

Oh world, world, what are you doing
sowing seeds of hatred and violence
in the name of your gods?
Your soil runs red with blood;
your air is polluted with the stench of death
in the name of your gods!
You kill, torture and terrorize.
Chaos and confusion are your mandates
in the name of your gods!
Your armies are everywhere,
conquering, yet it's never enough
in the name of your gods!
Oh, world, you can't be satisfied
now that you've tasted blood
in the name of your gods!
Your young, your old, lust for glory,
brandishing sword without mercy
in the name of your gods!
You've no enemies left,
you've killed them all
in the name of your gods!
What will you do in the end,
when all is said and done?
Devastated and without a friend
you find that you have no gods, no, not one!
