Of Gods and Soldiers

A walk so brazen A walk so bold A walk so true A walk so broken A walk so cold A walk with you Godless heathens who pray to the heavens For parlay, forgiveness, recourse Prayers To see parties, happiness and of course Families and children whose moments they will treasure forever If a part of them must be lost to the devil's players Then never will time never be spent ever With the ones they hold close, and together With the loved ones they treasure Violence of action is cruelty Violence of words is freedom But in my opinion truely, The two are for the most part even Treason is treason with pen, voice or sword For a God or plant, animal or man For all men, the gods have a plan For all men, godly laws are sworn A soldier's life in battle Is a sacrifice in honor Not of country nor government Not of a mother or a daughter A sacrifice in honor Of a great and sacred covenant Bonds between men and gods Are evident, relevant Though the truth may be hidden in smoke and mirror Or Cloak and dagger Or behind Shield and spear Courage and fear Will connect gods with men forever The courage to do what in your heart is right To sacrifice your very life To give your spirit to a god Who you may not believe in If such a god exists, he believes in you In this I am believing Of this, I know is true
