A Bloodless Sacrifice

I kneel down before you and my arms cross over your bare feet

My tears flow unto the marble floor under your robe, your throne you sit

Save our people let there be no more blood shed for Rome has no enemy

That we can not offer you in good deeds, I play this game of sacrifice

With every once of me I pour out to you, take my wretched body and do

What you must desire, let the fire rise into your body no more bloodshed I beg

Play with my emotions as I give in to your host of domain you can take me for your bride

I will not be selfish with my pride, and I will give you the satisfaction that you need

In every breath of my words let us find our dignity in peace and let me be yours tonight

Tomorrow take down the swords and crown my head as I will sit down beside you in lust

Of your loins be with you as I surrender to thee a bloodless sacrifice for victory

Let us drink from the golden cup of darkest offerings of wine and mortality
