I am not above you

I am not above you,
I am beyond you;
You do not understand me,
and you may well fear me;
But you will call upon me to fight the war you cannot.
I am your worst nightmare
and your best hope;
I am the edge of the Sword
that cuts both ways.
I am the world you cannot attain;
The perpetuation and annihilation of all that you hold dear.
I am the embodiment of all that you admire and despise;
I am honor and tradition,
amoral and profane.
I am the highest rung
on the ladder of your evolution,
and I am the living symbol
of your degeneration.
I am the God of War.
My armor is titanium
and no armor at all;
My voice is the thunder
on the edge of sound;
My movements are swift
and beyond your comprehension.
My touch is cold;
My love destruction.
My life is measured
by a sweep-second hand.
And I do not fear oblivion,
