A hollow man

I’m now a hollow man
just looking for a plan.
I have sharpened my swords edge,
and on her grave I made a pledge.
Upon her ashes a new nation may rise
while my empire retreats and dies.
And now they light lanterns in victory’s joy
as they ravage the body of Helen of Troy…
but the rise of the Empire will come again,
as soon as the gods grant me good men.
Then I will bring it all back,
every city of theirs I will sack.
Tears of scarlet will be shed,
when every Spartan is made dead
