The cold earth yields to the warm blood
The black soil incarnadined
Entangled in a rusty hue
Come morrow, the billows will rise
From the earthworks
The green sickness
The muzzle
The brimstone
Those who have found Hell
Declare it home
Settled, indifferent comfort
Followed by the hysterics
Of the irretrievable mother
Condolences
Cannon fodder
Composed of honor and glory
The sabre rattles
The youthful exuberance
The distant shells grow nearer
Bludgeoning the skulls thickened by pride
This noble rite of passage
Burning, wheezing lungs
Bloody coughs amidst
This field of dismembered limbs
A sea of internal organs
Faceless creatures
Confronted by mortality
Memento mori
Your day has come
The heroic deed undone
The superficial scorched
The innocence disfigured
The virtue of violence
Sing its praises!
Destroy, destroy!
The great sacrificial cleansing
Pitiful humanity
Drowned in mud
Caught in barbs
Fleshly homes for fragments
Particles to be vaporized
Sober minds intoxicated by horrors unseen
Unknown
Unreal
The temporal world
Your hellish vessel
