Swift invasion, bold and precise

Minimal resistance from the opposition

Massive drove of soldiers, interpret certain doom

The worst is yet to come though;

They know what they must do



Round them up like cattle, commence

With the festivities

Orders must be carried out

Instructions to incinerate



The innocent and guilty burn as one

Examples

For the evil

They have

Done



Pillage and burn,

All that stands

Will fall in flames

Pillage and burn, retaliatory act of rage



Conflicting beliefs have caused this rift

A means to and end will never be seen



So it goes back and forth

Armies of faith orchestrate the killing

Torches thrown, all is ablaze

Nothing remains alive at first light
