Shadows Cast

Dark halls filled with listless flame
	casting shadows upon walls
for souls with no names.

Fury cried upon faithless 
	wings spread wide with tips
		dipped in blood spilled
	by blade
bore of golden hilt. 

Hand fasten to steel
	of warrior made
	iron born mountain
		scaled where Angels lay
	brothers and sisters
of war – slayed.
