First year Poli Sci taught me that "soft power" was a term coined by... someone... to describe the importance of winning over the hearts and minds of your people as a means of getting them on your side, rather than using military force to do so. Something along those lines. Soooo, perhaps the fisrt and second verses are the masters of war telling their people, "Look, this is not war -- it is pretty and magical and also none of our doing."
