THROUGH THIS VESSEL

Remnants remain, of a once vibrant passion
Scars bear witness of the abrasion
The  cracks are  but  an  indication, of the wars fought
For  a  quest  to  find  that  which  was being sought

Ruins still stand of a majestic castle, that which was a haven of loyalty
The echoes from these rusty arsenals, proclaims the souls that fell casualty,
From the silent wars that claimed a pound of flesh.
