Let us write of sadness and of sin,
As we drain the bottle of this tasteless wine,
We'll cry out as if challenging the gods,
To some battle we can never win,
As if being heroic makes us heroes.
It's braver at the bottom of the bottle,
So let's go there to seek our courage,
And use swords full of blood red ink
To mock and destroy gods already dead.
