Dance

Defense, Guard,
Sharp sword, Dodge,
Light glints,
Steel rings,
Move, Rush,
Close,
Step aside,
Cut, Dodge, Parry,
Dodge, Drop, Roll,
Jump, Run, Attack,
Protect, Defend,
Defeat around every corner,
Victory in reach,
Breathing hard,
Elegance, Swift,
Beauty created,
Delicacy in steel,
A dance in death,
Music written in life,
Painted in air,
Telling a story,
Repeating a history in blood,
Making it seem wonderful,
Amazing, An adventure,
The truth is hidden,
The horror covered, Young men trained to go,
To go to their deaths,
To go too pain, To go to death,
To fight for lies,
To see the truth,
To be destroyed,
And all for lies,
Lies.
