War Prayer
Oh lord our GodHelp us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shellsHelp us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of the deadHelp us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of the woundedWrithing in painA prayer for war, a prayer for warA prayer for war, a prayer for warOh lord our GodHelp us to waste their humble homes in a hurricane of fireHelp us to wring the unoffending hearts of their widows with griefHelp us to turn them out with their children to wander the wasteOf their desolated landA prayer for war, a prayer for warA prayer for war, a prayer for warWe beseech thee o worthy lordBlast their hopes and black the lines on their bitter pilgrimageMake heavy their steps and water their way with tears my LordStain the white snow with the blood of the woundeds' feet my LordAnd we ask it in the spirit of war
