In This Dark War

In this dark war we gain no ground

People scream but we hear no sound.

We see the world take the fall

As we break down the great stone wall

And all that remains is the mound.

I have gained and lost by the pound

My world crumbles all around.

Is there someone out there to call

In this dark war?

All I dare seek is to be crowned

But where is all the glory found?

To make my enemies feel small

I most hold myself and stand tall.

I do not wish to become bound

In this dark war.
