Sacred Battlefields

Sacred battlefields, ages old land now silent as death itself bodies that lie where strewn in battle become one with the earth for all eternity. Mighty lands once cloaked in beauty now lie covered in the life's blood of brave men, who with their last breath fight to defend that which they have known and believed since birth that to die for ones belief(s) is true and just. This, a warriors creed, his one constant held within his very soul through the ages. Deaths blackened sting knows no boundaries all soon fall prey to its deadly siren call his life's travels have all led to this same end. With battle sword raised to the heavens a warriors fierce battle cry, forged out of anger echoes across the land for all to heed. The battle raged on through days end few left standing ... brave men all with fighting strength expended freely given to protect, for the future the same ancient lands, borne of his ancestors upon which he stands today.
