Wizards and Warriors

Warriors of the ancient world
Unsheathe your swords of fire
To battle death and Dragons breath
Mercenaries for hire

In darkened hallways danger looms
A Sorcerer weaving spells
Magic cast from shadows past
As scripture once foretells

Caught amid the Wizard's web
Just pawns to take the fall
A futile plight but still they fight
With backs against the wall

Stoically they hold their ground
Behind bloody sword and shields
No kingdom stands with crimson hands
The moment courage yields

With Angels on their shoulders
The Wizard's spell was broken
Kneel and pray men win the day
Victory now awoken

No witnesses to celebrate 
The mountains so many climb
History bleeds with valiant deeds
Now lost in sands of time
