I swear to keep forever in my heart

This sacred Hate, until the final beat.

This holy venom will become a part

Of every drop which forms its living heat.

Forever graven on my sombre face

A tragic furrow on my mournful brow.

This outrage leaves its utmost loathly trace

Upon my mind and soul, Forever, Now.

My ruined fields, my cities sunk in flame,
