Peaceful Warship

The flowing design
The smooth shell

The gentle breeze
From a spot below

Its jutting weapons
Its jagged arrows

Its soaring knifes
To seal your doom

It's made for war
Yet looks like peace

What are we to make
Of this masterpiece

Mountain king

Your Gold pelt
Your sharp claw
Your bold nature
That one cannot draw

You're the lion of the hills
King of the rocks
You're an icon of the mountain
You will not fit in any box

You prey on your enemies
With a merciless stare
They run for their life
But you do not care

You have your home
And protect it with care
You set out alone
To take some of theirs

Darkness

I am the night
I am the void

That consumes every deceased soul
I lie in every man's heart

Where they hide their darkest secrets
I am the fear of every young child

Though I run from light
I follow behind its every footstep

To consume everything it has left behind
To seal it in my prison eternally

Devoid of all light
Devoid of all hope

I am what welcome's the fallen
I am what hide's every beast

The Void

By Samuel Sweetnam

Cold is the Void
That is what we are not
That is where we are to go
That is what we are to become

Dark is the void
That steals the night
That fills the heart
Of the greedy man

Black is the void
That hides the lost
That feeds the beast
That hunts the good

The void is cold
The void is dark
The void is black

War

All I am is what you are
All you are is what I am
I have made you,
And I will break you

I gave you power beyond imagination
And I will destroy these great nations
My name is War

I have ruled you
Past your thoughts of independence
For I have fooled you
To be nothing but my willing tenants

Your payments in blood
Of those who died for your cause, for my cause
To fight for freedom
Against impossible odds

You fight for freedom
