[?7h Th e House of the H oly He's an old  proud hero, A saldier of an cient war,A  man whose life is g lory,He 'd been hailed as a  hero too oft to count, He bore up proudly,  even as his will and mind were fad ing,Th e weight of his evil  actions ground down apon h im,Thi s was more insidious punish ment than any other, In his mind he felt  the anguish of his tormented s oul.He  had slain mothers and their c hildren,St ruck down the sick a nd lame,Bu rned the dirty huts  of old men, Set flame to the fei lds and left them, And there t hey lay dying in the noontime  sun,Pl eading and begging f or help,Bu t their cries feel a pon a cold heart, For all he  could think of was the next vill age. In the eyes of his countrym an he was a hero, A man of goodness  to be admired, But in his heart h e knew what he had done was e vil, That in the name o f war he slew innocen ts, And now as he lay  apon his deathbed he seeks salva tion, A redeption of his s oul, So that when blackness over comes him, He may reside in the House  of the Holy.
