Total War

Tread not on me, brother! To live is to expand. Deterrence! Slay the Other! Cold core countermand! Boots a-click-clack, cobblestone. Midnight raid and how! Help the boy to hold his own! Sacred, O my cow! Written in the ancient s blood? Time to cause a flood! Rill and river, ricin, rud! Break, fade, flash, firewood! Bats before the bayonets? Batons too can kill. Settle in before she sets? Providence, thy will. Wild as any modern force? Stranger than the sea? Shift, O river, from thy course? Not the likes of me! Covert action! Civilize! Cut them down to size! Aim for whites of foemen eyes! Dare to criticize? Thunder, roll o'er city street! Alarums to ring! Riot team, best ye complete! Jerk them on the string! Silent aftermath, thy path. Kingdom, how ye grew. Pour out poison on the math! Hope, need talking to...
