The war is not won with glory but by bitter victories. Many will not see the sun again. While the ones that live Now carry with them a great burden Washed over by the tears of the fallen In tidal waves they leave in their wake The vanquished will find no solace in defeat Lives were shed in blood as an offer On the altar of a collective sacrifice Hasting the winds of change Which blow with the sands of time Eroding the stone inscribed with the epitaph of humanity.
