       So, I was writing a song based upon a Titular prompt, and this notion stuck with me as I wrapped that one up.
       
       This struck me, in particular, about some of the US civil war monuments and how they become religious places for those that hate.

       Lyrics
       ======
       
       How can you tell the
       difference between
       a monument to war
       and a memorial of war?
       
       Does it inspire
       oh, so much, much furvor?
       Does it inspire
       people dying at war?
       
       If it does, if it does,
       then it's not a memorial.
       If it does, if it does,
       then it proclaims the glory of war.
       
       It may be a monument,
       but it's also an altar.
       It may be a monument,
       but it proclaims the glory.
       
       Of war! Of your warring gods!
       And your fierce warring state!
       Of war! And your warring gods!
       And how your enemies will meet their fate.
       
       It's not a memorial if it
       inspires war.
       It's not a memorial if it
       brings people to the war.
       
       The war will go on.
       One nation, then another.
       The war will go on.
       As long as we keep worshipping it.
       
       It's our, our love.
       Our fierce, fierce love.
       We love the war,
       and the riches it brings us.
       
       It's our, our war.
       Forget all the fallen.
       There's wealth for us!
       This is why we war!
       
       We're great! And mighty!
       Just look at our enemies fall!
       We're great! And mighty!
       And we will rule them all!
       
       We worship the war gods.
       It can not be denied.
       We worship the war gods,
       until we all die.
       
       Then our wealth
       and monuments
       will carry
       us to heaven.
       
       Our wealth
       and our monuments
       will be with us
       in the Great Beyond.
       
       And war will follow
       us through the veil.
       Bringing death, once again,
       to the fallen, until we prevail.
