My body spins
As it enters a battle
One where no one wins
Each swing a struggle

The swords clang and clatter
While we fight and scream
Glory or pain, it doesn't matter
It's all hazy, like a dream

As the battle goes on
Reason is lost in this fight
In this war all there is,
Is an enemy in sight

So why do we shed blood
And hurt others without cause
Push them into the mud
And **** without pause?

Because it's not about us
Or the enemies in the fray
It's about those who trust
That we'll return safely one day

There were seven
Together they felt blessed
Feeling as if in heaven
Until one of them left

Then there were six
Trying to live without one
One less to mix
Then another was gone

Then there were five
Wondering why others leave
And the rest cry
Another left, the others grieve

Then there were four
Dwindling right here
Waiting for more
As another shall disappear

Then there were three
Waiting for another to go
To be released and free
As more goes into the flow

Then there were two
Trying to understand
Who is next to say adieu
Now one is left to stand

Then there was one
Taking in the loneliness
Waiting for life to be done
And last they go into the darkness
