No Fear

The Romans did it to please the gods,
 the Egyptians did it for her,
the Aztecs too for pleasure and the love of a woman,
In war as with the men of troy, or the worriers and the blood they shed,
 in her eyes, in her heart...all for her love,
 with honor with out thought to die as a loved man,
Wars were fought and as solders dye they were on there minds,
 as endless battles raged a loved one closed their eyes,
shivery made of heart, tenacity of love as they fell to the sand,
I see how it was done,
 how they willingly died,
 it's what I would do for you because of you...I can
