LOVE NEEDS NO BATTLEFIELD

I have seen countless battles

The clashing of sword lights up my eyes

Stepping over the many bodies of the fallen

My hands and feet are drenched in blood

But I have never once stepped moving forward

Never once have I been defeated

Across these vast years numerous foes have I defeated

Traveling across the lands fighting for whoever started these battles

 Marching to the sound of a drum was all I ever know

Flashes of death and blood flying in the air are burned in my eyes

As it stands I have killed enough to fill a river with blood

If every time you commit a sin angels lose their wings then they have fallen

I can still hear the distant sound of the fallen

Others say a warrior like me can never be defeated

My nightmares are filled with me drowning in blood

Bodies continue to pile up from the battles

As I move on and look down and all I see are dim eyes

Kicking the bodies as I try to move forward

I continue stumbling but I’m still moving forward

Desperately I move on trying to run away from the fallen

Looking at the masters I served I only ever saw greedy eyes

A feeling is began to fall over me one that is new to me could it be defeat?

This feeling starts to weigh me down along with the battles

My hands are stained with blood, blood and more blood

The red on my hands cause tears, tears of blood

Now my head doesn’t want to look forward

How can a warrior ever no longer wish for battle?

Could this be the curse of the fallen?

My steps are slow now because I have finally been defeated

I no longer wish to see please take away my eyes

Why can I still see? Damn these eyes1

I am now drowning in all of the blood

I no longer fight for I have been defeated

Can’t I stay here why must I move forward?

Should I now just join the fallen,

 to never see any more battles?

When I finally pick my head up head up my eyes see her without blood

She easies my heart and barriers the fallen destroying the battles

She lefts the defeated feeling and once again I look forward
