two heroes

Across from me looking he sits there

A look of pure justice in his eyes

I dare to glance back vainly hoping

For anything which resembled compromise

 

We had gone to far in this folly

I know this with bitter regret

Too many were gone, why carry on

When its over how soon they'll forget

 

My people they call me a leader

His people they hail me as Death

Regardless of those in the middle

They who counted and wasted their breath

 

The deal said and done we return to our own

To reap the credit for a peace we proclaim

And the smiles on their faces were hoplessly wasted

We want nothing only legacy and fame
