It charged us Breaking through the enemy's ranks Scattering men like toothpicks Theirs, then ours It was mad, but all war is mad Some of us stood our ground As it shook from its furious rage Shoulder to shoulder, brothers Hacking the enemy, Sliding swords deep in to their skins Until their ranks parted like the sea And our phalanxes shattered Whether men stayed, frozen Or ran, ******* themselves in fear The enemy now brought brother from fear I watched from the vanguard King's Own, Pride of the Empire Our ranks splintered, trampled Beneath massive, mad feet Thrown by this four tucked beast Solace might be found Maybe in that both sides lost This creature gored and pulped Either with abandon Whipping it's fury forward; blood blind Scant twenty paces from me I stood my ground as soldiers should Memorized by its horrid beauty Sword half drawn; paltry effort To stem the storm, hold an ocean It's massive head, tossed, twisted The smallest figure, it's demonic handler Astride its sinewy thick neck Holding only a mallet Riding it to the ground Skidding, skidding the mass of flesh A trickle of blood running down Slipping down a behometh's head A tear staining its rider's cheek The creature, lungs heaving, just last Finally, this nightmarish charge Ended by its handler's love A chisel driven deep into its brain Berserker's stained rage Stilled for want of war A single moment's pause Before I brought my own beast up Charging up massive flesh Hooves digging deep for purchase Stooping deep, cocking arm Deliver my own stroke Long blade taking that mans head I am off, my horse bellows Lungs like billows, frosted breath In this morning's war torn cold My furs, now soiled red Eyes just as red raged rimmed Across the war machines back Legs dancing to bring me next Closer, nearer; exploit this pause Turn the tide, bring chaos directed I know my brothers are at my side Hacking with strength unthought No glance unnoticed, I simply know Every move around me, everyone My warbeast awakened, alive Perfectly calm in this wake
