Deus Benedicit Bellum / Deus perfunditur sanguine

I watched the first man bleed into the dirt and called it holy I leaned close to the king’s ear at midnight and spoke one soft word of doubt He woke believing every brother was a blade aimed at his throat Deus benedicit bellum Deus perfunditur sanguine Benedictus sanguis Benedictus dolor Benedictus frater contra fratrem Deus amat bellum Deus amat cruorem Non victoriam… sed sanguinem I poured certainty into the soldier’s mouth like communion wine He marched singing my name while the fields filled with boys who still believed they were righteous Nations lift their banners and scream my titles as they carve each other open I do not choose sides I only choose the blood [growled] Every prayer is fuel Every death is praise Benedictus sanguis Benedictus dolor Benedictus frater contra fratrem Deus amat bellum Deus amat cruorem Non victoriam… sed sanguinem Look how they invoke me while the rivers run red Look how they thank me while the children learn to hate I smile in the smoke I drink from the wounds This is my favourite theatre I was never the god of mercy I was the god who watches and laughs when the faithful slaughter the faithful and call it devotion Deus benedicit bellum Deus perfunditur sanguine Benedictus sanguis Benedictus dolor Benedictus frater contra fratrem Deus amat bellum Deus amat cruorem Non victoriam… sed sanguinem full album: https://suno.com/playlist/d441e0df-ffa3-4cf0-be0a-77e1f8dd631f
