Reminder of what was, is and what may still be.
One more death...
A sacrifice on the altars of hate
More blood upon the hands of the world
Another death will be enough.

What is one more death...
To avenge the honor of nations
To quell the cries of anguished souls?
A life is extinguished,
Is their death enough?

Trapped in a circle of death...
Altars stained by the sacrifice of blood
A world cannot suffer so many tears
Eventually,
One more death will be enough.

Our world is a ruin...
Led by those who believe a death will be enough.
