War..Torn

Recommended Posts

By the moon and star of ethereal light

A solo Harbinger rides through the night

This sombre horseman's sempiternal quest

For ultimate peace and panacea

To seek the means in dominions near and far

For the incipient end of all Conflict and War

 

Kings and Queens and Generals learn surreptitiously

From servants and mercenaries, of a foolish ephiphany

For ineffable peace, for calm and serenity

On their own beleaguered war-torn territories

The War Pigs laughter turns to outrage and anger

And murderous demands for the nemisis rider

 

The mysterious horseman pursues his ebullient mission

Erstwhile the Generals plot to thwart his ambition

The rider more resolute to aggress his dream to fruitition

An assemblage of Armies push to frontline position

Five thousand men encircle the solitary figure

Abiding their orders to compress the trigger

 

In the field five thousand bodies are burning

Evocative warning, as the War Machine stops turning

The insouciance horseman rides further and farther

Unearthing the hideaways of the Generals, and Queens and Kings

His true self revealed to the War Pigs cowerings

Satan laughing and spreads his wings

 

 

Oh Lord Yeah!

 

Edit: A nod to Sabbath, Lord Strummer and modern war pigs everywhere
