New song: Battle Hymn of the Righteous

[Arthur T.]

title: Battle Hymn of the Righteous
ttto: Battle Hymn of the Republic

My knives are red and gory from the work they've done tonight
My foes were all defeated in our most aggressive fight
Because we are victorious, I know to our delight,
We won because we're right

(Chorus, after each verse:)
Gory glory, it's the true way
Gory glory, there's no dismay
Gory glory, now I can say,
"We won, so we are right."

We will not stop the war despite the devastation made
We'll fight with bombs and guns and rocks and with our trusty blades
Though their defense increases, we will fight on unafraid
Because we know we're right

How do I know we're right, you ask, as cowards often do
Our God smiles on our battles; even you must see that's true
And if you do not join us then the next war's fought with you
And then you'll know we're right

I'm thinking of too many things to which that's applicable, not all of
them literal wars. Nice job.
