They will march across the world and conquer other lands.They are notorious for their cruelty and do whatever they like.Their horses are swifter than cheetahs and fiercer than wolves at dusk. Their charioteers charge from far away. Like eagles, they swoop down to devour their prey.“ On they come, all bent on violence.
