Foe corpses bridge the yawning rift Twined with entrails from abdomen slit Traverse 'bove maw of gaping pit Toward the peak of precipice Across the reach - the great divide A wake of dead left in our stride March forth legions of the great eye Endless the point 'tward which we strive May our enemies hearts tremble with fear and wither Battles may cease but war is forever The unsought path we persevere Over the ridge - beyond the clear From wound to scar by fire seared In face of death spit - show no fear. Ill mongers lips puckered and placed 'pon nether Battles may cease but war is forever Venture further into the breach Beyond the veil where light can't reach Sever the tongues of skeptic speech Become the flame that which we seek No mount to tall to circumvent Desert seethe nor inclement Thresholds be smashed beyond thoughts dreamt 'Till our final breath's been spent A brethren oath - one which cannot be severed Battles may cease but war is forever
