Music upon the battlefield, symphony in the clash of metal The flash of a sword unsheathed, as lightning in the hand of angry god Once I'd found honour in this, the way of the sword I know better now With every stroke the lives I took were my own how many are left? In the waning sun I stand alone stained by my impetuousness *5 senryus stand as one [This message has been edited by Aenimal (05-19-2003 01:50 AM).] |

The battle cry has just begun clash of sword rings true I knew the look the glint of steel blood fresh on face a stain of grace music streaming soul screaming for something new Dear knight lay down your sword rest your mind your weary load place your brow within my hands let me wash your spirit free understand your place your heart and face armor tinged arduous escape from fight within To you my lace I freely give and water fresh for you to live until the dawn the next display a brand new sun then dying day Warm your feet and rest your mind by fire ablaze and silent shroud of resilent wings wrapped and bound upon - around you now Dear Knight hush . . . eyes closed silence . . . the only sound Raph - this is quite an amazing display of honor in itself - your words . . . the five spillings . . . of your soul fresh paint . . . truly brilliant you wear this armor like second skin, my friend the battle is long and you are weary sometimes it is good to bleed amazing me yet again as you always seem to do xxoo [This message has been edited by littlewing (05-19-2003 10:01 AM).] |
