Drapery billows; dancing in the hillside wind.
Colours clear against the sky. Bared teeth breathing.
Lay these in waiting for velvety fatal embrace.
Softness of flesh meets hardened skins.
Expected acceptance;
All demands have been denied.
You brought promise of conquest of me
By any means.
Laid your hatred at my door.
"I warned you I would quench your thirst for blood.
And I shall.
Drink your fill.
This is war."
"I want to ride storms, trample on dangerous waves."
"If I should die in this war, it will be my good fortune."
"I was born to do this."
"I'm not here to witness."
"I will not yield. I will not falter."
You brought promise of conquest of me
By any means.
Laid your hatred at my door.
"I warned you I would quench your thirst for blood.
And I shall.
Drink your fill.
This is war."
Besiegement horrific, we chose victory pyrrhic
Over your barbaric law.
Incursion oppressive, expression aggressive
Impressive displays of shock and awe.
Bombardment relentless, this violence senseless,
A riot impious and raw
Deluded by hubris, denuded by truth is
The foregone conclusion of my downfall.
Battlefront brutal belittlement futile
Hear this lioness roar
'Cause fortitude's meter measures not the blows dealt but measures the number of blows you endure
Yes
Fortitude's yardstick measures not the blows dealt but measures the number of blows you endure.
You brought promise of conquest of me
By any means.
Laid your hatred at my door.
"I warned you I would quench your thirst for blood.
And I shall.
Drink your fill.
This is war."
"I warned you I would quench your thirst for
blood.
And I shall.
Drink your fill.
This is war."
