          no stranger path to peace // leads ever more to war //to breaking, smashing, and crushing // of flesh, blood, and bone debased

with impure fire, steel, and corrupted stone // that beaten and cowered at last //all adversaries before of peace // may perforce be forced to embrace

     across much needless loss and ruin //and the blood and bones of the dead // be made the irreverent throne for reluctant lordly peace.
