Here is a new one.

The title I have for it I don't like, so no title for now.

Come one and all in Sunday best
So comes the greatest human test
The art form to which all must bend
The pride and joy and end of men

Come all ye faithful to the sabbath of war
Everyone's welcome, saints, martyrs and whores
Where all will be punished, the innocent too
And none will be spared, save an unlucky few

And though I walk through the valley of death
Its to the gallows I see its black shadow stretch
I stand kneep deep in the blood of my flock
And in my shallow grave, I shall no longer want

Come take communion in single file
The goosestep in time with a salute or "zeig hile!"
Say forty "sig sauers" and cross yourself
Then in snarling benediction, unleash Hell

Our numbers are many
Composed of the few
Who fight in the trenches
And lie in the pew
The bloodshed we find
Flows like a wine
And runs like a river towards the end of time

And though I walk through the valley of death
It's to the battlefield I see its black shadow stretch
I stand knee deep in the blood of my flock
And in my shallow grave, I shall no longer want

Beyond these churchouse doors made of battlescarred steel
I know awaits my enemy
And though it can't be true, due to his heathen views
I'm told he looks alot like me

The bloodshed we find
Flows free like a wine
And runs like a river towards the end of time

And though I walk through the shadow of death
Its to the battlefield I see its black shadow stretch
I lay face down in the blood of my flock
Here in my shallow grave, I shall no longer want

The break in flow in the 7th stanza changed the music in my head, but it returned in the 8th. That was pretty cool. I liked the play on the quoted lines through out. You spelled "heil" wrong. Don't ask how I know that, but I had to point that out. hehe So much imagery going on. Lots of color and lots of fear yet exhileration. Sounds like prog rock or Tull to me when I read this type story piece.
I liked it.

Sounds like Tull? Is that good or bad?

That's good. They had some dark lyrics with a touch of sarcasm at times. Lots of personal imagery in the characters. Go read some.
