Prepare, My Beloved
Prepare
For a bloodbath,
My beloved.
Prepare.
Prepare
For this day shall
Go down in history.
Make sure you stand erect,
Make sure your words are correct.
Prepare for a bloodbath,
My beloved.
Prepare.
Prepare
To risk not only your life,
But the life of the one at your side.
Whether your neighbor be me,
Or be she,
Prepare for a bloodbath,
My beloved.
Prepare.
Prepare
To choose a path
When the road splits.
Two sides and only one chance
Be sure-footed before you advance.
Prepare for a bloodbath,
My beloved.
Prepare.
Prepare
Because actions and words
Cannot be reversed.
In a way you’ve been bled
Once they are done or said.
You cannot take them back.
So
Prepare
For a bloodbath,
My beloved.
Prepare.
