One Man

Cast in beauty by bloody light.

Illuminated by the dawn

Started by two swords drawn.

Heroes fallen,

Unknowns dead,

All because of what one man said.

Lives destroyed across the land,

Just to please a greedy hand.

Fighting stops with the setting sun.

Neither side has lost, nor won.

Can you see what one man does,

And his destruction of all there was?

All the lives he threw away,

Just so he might have his day.
