Again, evoke tragedy

The breaking of wills

On the wheel of the carnage ritual

Unbelievable...

The furor to impale themselves

Under exhortations' lash

And laurels' yoke

Callous sacrament of flesh

To be deformed, mangled

To die moaning

Detritus in the killing field

Eviscerated in the butchery

Screams drown fear

Deny mortality

Revel in bloodshed

Heroes moulder in phosphorescent graves

Transcend the limits of bereavement

Miasma belching trench of blanching corpses

One fuming ridge after another...

Hatred for enemy

Ambitions of immortality ebb away,

Draining with the lifeblood escaping

Reconciled...

In oozing murk of death

Again, evoke tragedy

The breaking of wills

On the wheel of the carnage ritual
