Bitter Revenge

All was quiet and all was calm

The day before the sounds of bombs

The peaceful days and silent nights

Cut short by sudden frightful cries

Every animal and person too

Did look upon the sun and moon

They saw it burst through the raven clouds

As the very first shots came looming down

The enemy's approaching; the sounds of drums do beat

They're overcome by panic and quickly turn to flee

To no avail they run away

The trespassers start to slay

They leave no stone unturned

What cannot be carried must be burned

Later in the night they sit around a fire

Completely unassuming of a trouble most dire

From out of nowhere a stranger shows up

A young girl with a body covered in cuts

She slips through the shadows as quiet as can be

Tormented with rage at her fated tragedy

She climbs stealthily out of the water underneath the docks

Then moves from behind the trees, the bushes, and the rocks

She waited silently until it was time

Time for them to die

This young girl with flames in her eyes

Was the one they left alive
