A sea of blood consumes a century's pride,
The weeping earth roars out in sudden dread;
The royal crown arrives with victory's tide,
While in triumphant joy, the world lies dead!
The gems upon the crown are tears of pain,
The throne is built upon a hill of bone;
What bitter fruit drops from this proud domain?
As history fades in darkest night, alone.
A blinding pride ignites the victor's eyes,
While defeated homes are locked in silent grief;
Across this bleeding ground a black dawn sighs,
As dying conscience brings no true relief!
The cosmic ages guard this reign of fear,
Behind the crown, the tears of joy appear.
