No Smoking Guns

We will destroy for reasons we can't find
Existence deduced which can't be observed
Thousands will die for what they have in mind
For the feelings of passion they once served

When confused we will disassemble doubt
Unknown entities will be stripped of masks
Searching just to analyse their lay out
Tracking the accepted thru friendly tasks

War allies were lied about by others
Two hundred thousand died mistakenly
Now we go to kill again with druthers
Contestant fates will ply forsakenly

Standing above carnage, swords wet with blood
Will we want to know why these others died
Our dogs will clean our blades and we the mud
Take our ropes from the necks of those we've tried

Just how callous we are concerning death
Surely will surprise the gods if they dare
As movements for retargeting like breath
Occurs from confusion as well as care

Gods will fall before our onslaught of will
Foes will find praying futile before us
Finally we will just pause when we kill
Reviewing the truth of what we discuss
