In the Citadel

In the citadel the plans were made
The dynasty set was not to fade;
Plans to enforce the ruling hand
And gods were set across the land.

Then came a warning loud and clear
It rang across for all to hear;
“Approaching enemy, the army of Light
A call to arms, prepare to fight.”

“Bring out the prisoners who live for our cause
Arm the accusers who fight in our wars;
Fight to death despite the cost
And destroy the prisoners if all seems lost.”
