Thysia- Sacrifice

Oh! those gods of ancient times who looked kindly upon this land- and its people- it was from their hearts we toiled while they dwelt silently among us- they who witnessed the blood we shed. Oh! how we cried out their names for liberation as they guided us to command an army - to fight for that which was ours. See how they witnessed as the earth turned red. Oh! how we prayed to our Mother when our bellies were empty- our backs broken, and the dead lay on the ground, Did we not see as the Eagle soared above us while a hot sun burnt our skin. Oh! see now how they sleep, easy and comforted by our sacrifices- our toil and our suffering - does not the Mother herself smile upon us with affection? Our sons gather about her safe in eternal peace.
