Fear is but the first of fiends
Born by harrowed bone
And fed by utter lack of trust
And nurtured all alone

Hate is but a child of fear
And may be not the worst
It fills your eyes with bitter rage
And burdens with a thirst

And vile is the violence
That is fear's second born
That blackens now the hearts of man
And stains a soul with scorn

War is last and bastard born
Some say cruel son of fate
It spurs senseless slaughter
And breeds a home of hate
