By the King's Decree

Sanctified, sealed, once written in blood Shipped on the seas and fought in the mud Swords and arrows and battering rams Sparing the rich to sacrifice lambs Multitudes sent to battle by hand Manpower spent to confiscate land Another war by the King's decree Fought by the poor and always will be Sadly though, many lives they barter Proudly though, many souls they martyr Death from wars are always repeated Kings, in time, are always defeated
