They have marched down the centuries The soldiers of the night They fight for war And they kill for might The Army is marching To a party of death The ceremony is here Once every thousand years Their snowy white faces Pale and gaunt with spite Contradict their black hearts In their armour so bright Now they've come for vengeance They have no fear of light For their banner is hatred And hatred knows no respite Now they're marching outside Now the ceremony begins And the death is coming You have let the Bloodletting in ------------------ Pride of place in the human race goes to one without a trace, of subtlety style ego or grace for this position, I wish to say, i would be proud as i am greater than any other face in the crowd |

Very enjoyable read, especially the 4th stanza. ------------------ Thinking is just what a great many people think they are doing when they are merely rearranging their predjudices. |
