This is a strange little verse called "Baal Dethroned."
I wrote this not too long ago. It's kind of like a psalm of war.
Pagan gods of older days
Mass their armies to attack
Along the paths and ghostly ways
Their banners and swords flash black
To ravage the land of the chosen ones
They issue from Sodom’s gate
The innocent blood will run
Spilled by hands that know only hate
His arm is Strength, His wrath unquenched
Dark gods crushed and perish where they lie
Saboath storms forth with mighty fists clenched
His anger roused; one thousand die
Behold the end of all things!
They worshipped worthless gods of stone
The gods accepted the blood and bone
Temple prostitutes performed unclean rites
Virgins slain on the holy nights
To appease the gods the firstborn die
Music and chants drown child’s cry
Moloch demands pain and fire
The Tophet eases his murderous desire
The people oppressed bow down in fear
No god comes forth to soothe the tears
Yet a few remember Saboath of old
They fear no death; the faithful are bold
Behold the end of all things!
Saboath will endure this horror no longer
The gods are strong, yet He is stronger
He stirs in wrath to vanquish and slay
His angels draw nigh, the demons dismay
The weeping is soothed by His holy voice
The gods are destroyed, the mourners rejoice
The arrogant heart of Chemosh impaled
In splinters lies the Throne of Baal
Mass their armies to attack
Along the paths and ghostly ways
Their banners and swords flash black
To ravage the land of the chosen ones
They issue from Sodom’s gate
The innocent blood will run
Spilled by hands that know only hate
His arm is Strength, His wrath unquenched
Dark gods crushed and perish where they lie
Saboath storms forth with mighty fists clenched
His anger roused; one thousand die
Behold the end of all things!
They worshipped worthless gods of stone
The gods accepted the blood and bone
Temple prostitutes performed unclean rites
Virgins slain on the holy nights
To appease the gods the firstborn die
Music and chants drown child’s cry
Moloch demands pain and fire
The Tophet eases his murderous desire
The people oppressed bow down in fear
No god comes forth to soothe the tears
Yet a few remember Saboath of old
They fear no death; the faithful are bold
Behold the end of all things!
Saboath will endure this horror no longer
The gods are strong, yet He is stronger
He stirs in wrath to vanquish and slay
His angels draw nigh, the demons dismay
The weeping is soothed by His holy voice
The gods are destroyed, the mourners rejoice
The arrogant heart of Chemosh impaled
In splinters lies the Throne of Baal
