Militant

Militant They say the only good thing, besides invention that comes out of winning a war is the ability to brag about your heroic feats along with your comrades. What can I add to a dead man's grave Should it be flowers or just some words that they said Awful as it seems there's nothing as grand As the feeling of relief when you bury a friend Knowing their demons have all been released Watching them fly you know your friend found their peace The Adage “every time you hear a bell Another angel gets out of hell” Was obviously created by the survivors of a fight For those who won by losing their life There are those who can stand and those who can't Yet all will follow the universal chant We know who we are the “beaten and maimed” And we remember the ones who died from the chains Why is retaliation is no longer allowed? Because we will grant the devil choice of his crowd And pray then too our mighty holy lord That if we are chosen, he will sharpen our swords And if it is time for the war of this world Please keep in mind it will be won by the girls.
