Phantasmagoria

The sky reflects the broken bodies laid out. 
      Blood soaked field and severed heads skewered on pikes. 
         Racing forth towards fallen comrades with a shout. 

   The sky reflects the broken bodies laid out. 
      Impaled into the chest, blood flowed there is no doubt. 
         Haunted Night terrors, squeezing heart-rending pain strikes. 

   The sky reflects the broken bodies laid out.
      Blood soaked field and severed heads skewered on pikes.

I hope your vision is a phantasmagoria, It's terrifying enough. ~~
