The sun beats down on a crowded field
while trumpets blare and angers build
As bloodlust spreads thoughout the men
the commander yells, "On the count of TEN"
As three is passed, an arrow flies
Our leader is dead by the counting of five
War cries are screamed, all plans are lost
Soldiers break free, forgetting the cost
Cavalries charge with infantry in tow
Arrows rise up and drop those below
Swords are unsheathed in search of warm flesh
to rip and to stab, to cut and to slash
Our armies clash with the fury of death
as men on both sides take in their last breath
When the confusion is over and the survivors have fled
I walk in the chaos through paths of the dead
body after body, my eyes move to and fro
sadness starts to creep throughout my broken bones
The gore crows are here enjoying their meal
filling their bellies, it feels so unreal
I look down at a pond, stained red with blood spilt
a man gazes up, chest pierced to sword's hilt
I stare down at my reflection with disbelieving eyes
As the ground and sky resound with a dead man's unheard cries
