//------------------------------// // Peace In War (poem) // Story: The Nocturnal Collection // by TheNocturnalLoner //------------------------------// They say that sons bury their fathers in peace While fathers bury their sons in war We know this fact to be true But there is nothing we can do War is in our nature We cannot escape this fact For peace cannot last And war will not stand fast We will fight until the world is stained red We will fight until we are all dead We must fight to live And we must live for us to die The soldier fights on and on Soon he thinks he'll be gone Without death there is no life Without wrong there is no right There is only one battle nopony can win It is against the one we call "Him" You can run all your life But you can't escape his scythe Darkness will take you soon and fast Plunging you into an unknown seam Do not wake the soldier from his eternal dream For he has found peace at last -Grim
