The Pen, the Sword, and the Lord

The pen is a mighty weapon
Many a people have said
One stroke of this crayon
Have left many people dead

The sword used to kill the pawns
Leaving many battlefields red
Bringing leaders into a new dawn
And many common folk dead

The Lord has not yet drawn
Beware the bloodshed
Nobody will be left to mourn
When he takes all our heads
