Glory

Glory is hidden
once again
She had bidden
And created a din

Glory is there
Ahead of me
Horribly fair
Says I made her free

Glory is gone
But not dead like me
The veil has been drawn
I didn’t know to flee

Ah, but what does it matter
Glory lied to me
Yet she caused blood to splatter
Creating a Red Sea

She told me I was great
And so I slew many
Told me it was my fate
And I would get plenty

But what can I do
I can’t tell the living to ignore her
To make the choice they’ll rue
For Glory is not worth murder
