The Coming

Victorious is the one who sheds his own blood for his friend
Lowly is the one who lies to himself defend
Triumphant is he who puts others' lives before his own
Beautiful is she who protects instead of sitting upon her throne
But terrible are those take lives for their own gain
Terrible are those who murder and steal and cause shame
Woe to the world that we live in
Where those of evil prosper and win
Where the good guy loses to the bad guy
More often than not, no matter how they try

But:

Listen children, for the sound of trumpets
Listen my elders, for the sound of drums
Watch my people, for the coming that will save this world
