Fixed eyes, silenced Voices  
Bodies in rigid attention  
Soldiers prepared to follow me in combat  
Battle lines are traced by my hands  
Positions taken
Defined Formations  
Under my command, discipline veil  
Is what separates us
From complete hysteria  
Each one of us knows  
That the order of our arrays  
Shortly, will give place  
To the desperate screams of mouths  
Flowing blood
Swords and axes will cut men to the middle
But, at this time, we faced  
An enemy still more insidious and cruel  
The Silence

It was always thus and always thus will be"

LoneRanger~
Very vividly told.
The silence before the battle is foreboding.
Very well told.
