The battles fade

Carnage remains

Rotting victims

Across the plains

The worst of the horrors

I've seen in these days

Are the lifeless bodies

Of loved ones remains

Open the tomb of nightmares

Demons await inside

Catacombs of abhorrent souls

Released beneath the shrine

Starvation sets in

Amongst the ruins

Light reflects

And I find it grim

I see the slaughter

And mankind's ruin

Spoils of war

Leaves bodies unfound

Dismembered gore

Upheaval abound

Unleash the serpents

With soaring wings

Chasing the hoards

Of venomous steeds

Valor and glory

Fuel the beasts

And soldiers toil

To confront their grief

The pain is greater

Than iron pierced flesh

The scares not seen

Bled like the rest

The battles fade

the carnage remains

Rotting victims

Across the plains
