Poem Title:
Poem
The front rank hold stong, from where does come the strength? pushing forward, one step, another, Keep pushing you red. Swords, spears, axes, striking home, black with enemy blood, All weapons must be fed, let Evil blood flow. Yet blood shall still flow on both sides, the horror of battle fulfilled, the ranks of light and dark, hard pressed, sweat mingles with blood. The Arlaghs slowly moving back, still, they are not done, now a pivotal part of the battle, the red cannot give ground. There are still archers behind the main foot, see how they ply their death, they still fire their death into the air, arrows striking home with deadly accuracy. Carts now rolled from Alahsar, they kept the archers supplied with death, yet these supplies were not limitless, never waste a shot. Yet still, the enemy numbers hold, do the dead rise upon the field? What black magic is this? the numbers did not decrease. Look at the number of enemies fallen, no one can see them rise, their numbers still never seem to fail, and a cold touch of fear can pierce the heart. Men of Alahsar, what power of spirit leads you on? What song of power does grip your heart? it is the song of man's glory. This song has no end, it is glories song of grace, yet everything can have an end, an end that brings forth bloody death. Could this be the end of the song? The song of golden Alahsar, the time for warriors to fall on their swords, the end of all that is joy. These men shall have it not, they shall fight on even though strength starts to fade. strike home you men of honour, fight on for all you love. Onward, onward, let the spirit fire their souls, one cannot think of the cost of defeat, men, Arlaghs, spiders and wolves, all sing the song of death, each fighting for the precious gift of life. Battle does ever come with blood and pain, The repugnant smell assails the nostrils, oh, glory, how terrible is your song, the living dread of all who love life. Blood now freely mingling with the Earth, the green dies before our eyes, black, red, and dying green, now part of the song, thunder has exploded on Badicha. The battle rages on and on, vacant eyes look to the skies, glory's dream to live or fall, the fulcrum falls one way or the other. To Be Continued ..........
