Wicked is good

Warlords take siege upon a land, a falling kingdom 
Immensely, they overwhelm, they conquer their alleged king 
Catch the thieves, throw them in the pyre
Keep the meek ones, revolt they shan't 
Every road leads to the same inevitability 
Down with the ruling monarch, a scourge upon the motherland 

Is it worth the crimson soil on a peasant's farm?
Sovereignty and war for the sake of the common man?

Good men, our warlords have spoken and have 
Ordained our children with a new era
Of peace, of tearless glee, of headless chicken 
Down with the monarch, war is good evil.
