Decay [July 10, 2016]

Poetry

The battlefield lays in a barren ruin

Men who once lived, now but an illusion

A memory long forgotten, written in history

Their corpses forever etched with marks of misery

 

As time passes, the years forever more

The battlefield remains a scar, broken and torn

The evidence of violence forever a reminder

No matter the age, we are never wiser

 

The world is locked in a state of decay

An endless cycle of hatred, lies and the betrayed

Men who've sworn their lives to the power of the insane

To fight against an enemy, led by the same charade

 

They kill and maim, flesh and bone

The stab and break, they tear down stone

They murder endlessly, under a banner of lies

More families broken, left with everlasting demise

 

The battlefield crimson, soaked with new blood

The bodies of the brave, tossed into the mud

A mountain of bodies, forever it is endless

It will never decay, for memories are deathless

this is pretty metal. Political stance, intense imagery, caring so much. Very nice
