That Power Is War

That power that requires us is to be a saying,
Powerful is life of an ancient time when they said their life.
It is joy too powerful when imprints are made
On the heads of blooded men and women -
People who have entertained war.
I find it profound to be the saying of history
And that is between me and you.
Join me on a quest to interrogate the Gestapo,
They who squirm on their deeds with disgust.
Sorrow has not been the historical sorrow,
But presently it is superior to other sorrows.
War is ultimately a sorry affair.
