Love of War

My love is a ancient raw blood of war
man's scull crushing under hammer, sword
for your honor, purity, unblemished flesh 
stained, brutality, pain and death
to prove, and claim your heart, and soul, 
on battle field, steel blade cold
My dream as modern man (concealed)
to give no mercy, no life i yield
in animal roar, of masculine speed
bring forth the weapon, split forth the seam 
with no fear, but age, blood on cage
animal beating heart of rage
on fields where man meets face of man
ripping flesh and daring stand
ancient, historic, primal, core
My love is a ancient raw blood of war
