The Path to War

War, it took us by surprise,

Our innocence, it died.

Under this world's skies we fight,

Beta took us by surprise.

…

We thought we had moved on from war,

Thought we had evolved.

Thought our past a tragic story,

Not to be retold.

…

Yet we've shown ourselves to be adapt,

At bringing misery.

To create war constructs once again,

Some react in glee.

…

We've come back to that bloody path,

And that's the path of war.

For our survival we must fight,

That's what we battle for.

…

But if we triumph on this world,

What is next to come?

Can we put the jinn back in its lamp,

Or have our life's way been undone?

…

For now we fight, we must survive,

But after that we'll see.

And I must ask, even now,

From war, can we be free?
