Temple of War - Elizium

You, you don’t know me

You do not know that I exist

But you want me to die for you

And feast upon my rotting flesh

You use me as sustenance

To feed a never ending battle

My bones are the foundations

On which to raise your temple of war

I am carrion

For the mouth of war

I am carrion

For vultures in disguise

Yet you do not care

White pillars standing tall

Gleaming in the sun

This is the temple

Of red, white and blue

Lay me down upon the altar

And sacrifice me

For red, white and blue

My demise doesn’t stop you

To take advantage of me

I did not know what I signed up for

This contract extends after my death

Your banner blinded me

Fighting for the good cause

And now that I’m lying here

A sacrifice in your temple of war
