Playlist: Music for a King — Song # 5 Made of Scars

Made of Scars (Stone Sour) #playlist #scifi #chaos @kayelleallenIf ever a song fit Pietas, it is this one. He is literally made of scars. His never show. He heals too fast for any sign of them to remain. There’s a line in this song that fits him. Referring to his scars, the singer says “this one isn’t even there, but I feel it more because you don’t care.” When I heard that, it was like Pietas himself speaking to me.

“If they keep their word, these talks will end the war. We’ll have peace.”

“Ah, and isn’t that the key. If. Humans do not surrender well. They say the word ‘human’ as if it were synonymous with ‘king.’ These talks are nothing more than a ruse by you bleeding hearts who want to ‘stop the killing.’ As if killing was not what you were born to do. Embrace your purpose, Father. You are a killer. Like me.”

“We’re also scientists. Even I will admit you are the finest among our people. Embrace that. We don’t have to kill. The war has cost billions of human lives, while not one of us has perished.”

“As usual, you discount my deaths.”

“Yours don’t count. You come back.”

“I see.” Had anything Pietas had ever done counted? Not to the man before him. “Tell me, Father.” He picked up the silver circlet and toyed with it. “Would it be better if some of us had been terminated by fire, or one of the other ways to end us permanently? How many perma-deaths would suffice? Are two sufficient? A hundred? Or would mine be enough?”
