Victorious Men Of Earth

Victorious men of earth, come one again

To proclaim how wide your empires are

Though you bind in every shore,

And your triumphs reach as far...

...from where it's day to where it's dark.

Devouring famine plaguesn and wars

Each able to undo mankind

Death servile emmissaries are

Nor to these alone confined...

Then he had them at his will.

Victorious men of earth

Yet you proud monarchs must obey,

And mingle with forgotten ashes when ,

Death calls them to the crowd of common men,

We shall become...

Victorious men of earth

More quaint and subtile ways to kill

A smile or kiss, as he will use the art,

The one that craving the foreseen

Shall have the skill to break a heart.
