For all the soldiers

All over the world

Dying for silly metaphors

Beneath paint-brushed skies…

For all the soldiers

For all the soldiers

All over the world

Dying for silly metaphors

Beneath paint-brushed skies

The trees

Dreaming firefly prophecies

Wretched pigments

From sadist imaginations

Sacred doctrine butterflies

Fluttering elegies

To blessed emptiness

Sadly repressed

Magical milliseconds

Caged like north stars–

What we think we know

That validates horror

Let us pray

To their oracle souls.
