Fire and blood
Blazing, running
Destructive feet trod
Deliberate and cunning
She cuts down mischief
Obliterating war
Warring for peace
Which now is not far
The goddess is angry
Vengeance her cause
Sweeping up enemies
Without giving pause
Smiting all in her path
Ignorance means nothing
Evoking her wrath
Her recompense unrelenting
The destruction so great
She must be appeased
Water, not fire
Will put her at ease
