set from pov of a soldier during the battle.
Battle at Helm's Deep
The armies approach
And the cry is heard
All hear
All hearken
The light is disappearing
Darkness
It surrounds
It suffocates
Eternal lives are snuffed out
Hope is there
But it is not visible
The stars are there
But they are not shining
The Darkness
The darkness
Where are the stars?
The sky is slick with blood
The ground has sipped of destruction
Where is hope?
I can not see it
I cannot see through the death
The dark boding cloud that taunts me
Consumes me
The evil the hate
The eyes of the enemy
Oh how terrible
My soul is sick
My friends are dead
"Have hope!"
A voice says
"Do not give up"
I hear the words
My eyes are attacked
The image of my brother steals me
He is shot through the heart
He is falling to the weary ground
Like a cold stone it receives him
Where is hope?
Where are stars?
Hope has drowned in our sorrow
The vile has gorged on the stars
My arms are failing
My body fights me
And I can not win against the dread
I can not move against the fear
But no choice is there to strive
Just a little longer to endure
For our estranged jewels that saved us
For our former brothers that died for us
They gave up the eternal
They became ephemeral
I must honor them
Their hope was given to us
For our new age
For our survival
And at last relief comes
But as a murderer
"Retreat!"
"Retreat!"
We run
We hide ourselves
But security deceives us
And safety despises us
Where is hope?
Where are stars?
Are we all doomed?
