Fire cracks the hands
Bayonets split the ribs
Water fills the lungs
Muskets deafen the ear
Wounds on the walls of the house of God
Soaking hooves and boots
Track ominously on the marble floor

Light reflects from the swords
Bright blades pierce the dark smoke
And are in holy war
The spirit of death is alive

Trumpets revel bloody song
Dead armies' ghosts
Take communion in unmarked graves
Physical death can not stop
Unfalling allegiance
