The Vitriol Song
It would be nice if you could try every now and then to try
To see a little further than your nose
It would be nice if you could see more than friend and enemy
And that not everything can be solved by blows
It would be pleasant if you could find a path not soaked with blood
Or maybe even talk your problems out
Oh I forgot, how absurd, you have a sword you don’t need words
Off you go and when you need a healer shout
It would be comforting to muse maybe your divergent views
Might perhaps give you something to talk about
It could be relaxing to see each letting the other be
Or perhaps extending benefit of doubt
It’s a whimsy I resist that you might not think with your fists
And use your head for more that just for cooling blood
Oh I’m sorry I’m being rude I didn’t mean to so intrude
I’ll go embellish lies about the greater good
It would be shocking to observe you having the iron nerve
To try something new and daring like not fight
What a crazy thought you say, it’s as clear as blessed day
That such an act could just never be right
What the hell would fighters do if such scary dreams came true
What would we do without war and battle cry?
Guess it was too much to ask, who’d be up to such a task
It was crazy of me to think that you might try
I understand you took a pass, so don’t feel bad, just kiss my ass
And I’ll try hard to feel sorry when you die
