Scream as the sword slices the body
fall to knees as the blade withdraws
and witness the fragile physical laws.
Take a look to before the battle
to the morning prayer for the soul
getting dressed in the protective metal
a constant image in mind, to keep whole
a place to ever settle,
but for now to play a soldiers role
and if the end should come, grant a soldiers mettle
for on one's own, the demons are too many to wrestle.
