Benediction

Peace from the Divine

Blessings hang in the thick air

With a static crack

Over the TV

The radio signals peace

From the all-mighty

Pouring through my flesh

Waves penetrate every cell

Attenuated

Peace from the Divine

Preachers-preaching for war, death

God loves the victor

God favors the dead

Open the gates, Valhalla

Heaven is waiting

Green Elysium

Honor the sacrifice, eat

Pray for each victim

We spent them cheaply

On the altar, the battlefield

Pouring out their blood

The cheapest of wines

Hot and tainted, filthy lees

Sour as vinegar
