Decimation
or
The Fire Burns Bright

I stand amidst destruction,
The only glitter, killing steel
Hewn limbs still spouting carnage
Bloody wounded, none can heal

I take up flint and light a fire
I place my back to stone
Looking at the battlefield,
I see I'm not alone

In war we are not mighty,
not strong, not proud, not fey
When we gather with the ravens
We are all just men in gray

I salute my proud companions,
I raise a toast if you can hear...
A lament to all our losses
Let us cherish all that's dear

It seem's appropriate to resurrect this thread now. The dark days are not over.
