A dark shadow ever decending Covering all the land The trees, the bushes, the plants all wilt And the animals begin to starve all 'round A war decends and men fall dead And carrion eaters thrive Men, women, children, their blood all spilled The rivers flowing with red A child's cry, a woman's scream A horse falls dead by spear A bow string hums, a man falls down The battle rages near Swordsmen clash and archers loose Everyside taking tolls One side falls back, regroups his men The battle calls again His men arrayed, he prepares to die The shout of "charge!" goes out The men, they fall, and buzzards fly The mothers only cry Battle has no glory in killing men For not just men do die But hope and justice and peace die too Yet there is nothing we can do http://www.heisen.net Peace Through War, it is beginning! |
