Soldier's Plague
Soldier's Plague
Cast away your dowry,
Farewell your lady dear,
To horse, mail, shield, and sword,
The plague of war draws near…
Radiance cuts the darkness,
He rides though the death knell prose,
Slaying the slanderer, slaughterer, sinner,
Horsemen; fear this knight of rose…
War would bask in glory,
As all mankind fell,
Destruction, devastation, and death,
Riding the scorching torrents of hell…
Two swords locked in battle,
Sundered breast bears breath of pain,
Slash the violence, hate, and carnage,
Cease this war again, again, again…
Standards stream on hill top won,
This victory a battle; small upon war,
Honor, courage, peaceful light,
We fight until he plagues us no more…
