battle

And they will see us laughing;

ceaselessly as we end them

Don't fire until you see the sweat perched on their foreheads

coming strong with an able foot in the door

watch for the answer

splitting time into shifts

forcing tears out of able eyes

the call

heard almost too late

heard by them as well

tapped under caution

the best of us were weak at mind

our hearts picked up the slack

Could we win?

Leviathan reared back

units crumbled

stand your ground

the sickle

rendered useless

by the hammer
