Silent Cry

by
Delilah Draken

.

.

To walk the path of blood
One has to understand

When all is done and dead
When lost the battle and the soul
When the last tear falls to grave
And a lonely warrior succumbs to fear

When to follow is to die
And to run is to survive
When forgotten is the past
And the future only a dreamlike fantasy

When a life is lost
And honour gained
When to fight a child is called
And duty takes what once was loved

A spectre comes to aid
To teach the art of death
To show the sacrifice
To lead them all to glory

When all is done and dead
When won the battle and the prize
When the last tear falls in happiness
A lonely warrior succumbs to pain

For only a fool is loved by war
And only a fool can hear the call
Only a fool can see what others deny
And watch the silent cry of life

To walk the path of blood
One has to understand

Or be a fool
