Holy War

Sorrow soars on the celestial sphere On wings of silver birds Distraught are the comforts of many Given to pleasure of the prophet of man Armed with the gospel of Allah. A gesture to the flying protector of the Holy Land A powerful hand to coerce collapse This message of greater value Has been returned unto you A cavernous exile. Gods collide To the messenger gives doctrine One shall command annihilation of many A clash of faith, departed The innocents. Unto Israel your anger flows Yet the Eagle fly’s near, watching To the Heavens you seek for knowledge Interpretations defined The proclamation of war indefinite. Deceptions in patience arise One God’s fury strikes Fear translates into understanding Bolts of heightened steel take flight To bring to not, the Eagles castle. Souls of vacant bodies speak A new army for the war Upon the Mount of Olives they stand Waiting for the messenger of Allah To oppose the will of YHWH. And the Eagles wings held flight Screeching down upon the messenger; punishment This Holy Land remains the dream Immortal direction subsided Israel stands keeper of the gate Holy war.
