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
