There upon ancient holy plains  
God’s warriors clash sword to sword  
Men grunting as their armor strains  
Kill in the service of their Lord

They share an absolute belief  
About the justness of their cause  
Suppressing any latent grief  
When friends are swallowed by death’s jaws

Their cause is just, God’s on their side  
They mutter, trading blow for blow  
Until the battle turns a tide  
And even then, their eyes still glow

Neither belongs, both sides belong  
Their Lord, apparently abstains  
Forever right, forever wrong  
Their faith persists. Their faith remains.
