Phobos and Diemos

Empires of power and wealth

Expanding their boundaries

A phalanx of greed and ambition

Conquering the weaker of nations

War is their key to expansion

Millions of innocent die

Swords are swung and arrows fly

Weapons of stone and steel

Swinging like pendulums

Killing men with each pass

Time will tell what we'll become

The bloody star high in the night sky

A symbol of man's need to fight

Fear and terror revolve around the crimson source of light

Fear and terror revolve around the bloody orb of war

Through the centuries

Man learns more efficient ways to kill

He's better at destroying

Entire cities at will

Through technology

man can now annihilate everything on earth

A grenade in the hands of a child

That's been violent since birth
