To war

Look by starlight, they’ll be waiting
Line on line of soldiers strong
Standing proud in gleaming armour
Swords drawn glittering throng on throng.

Banner flying, feet marching
Elvin bows drawn taut
Mounted soldiers, skulking rangers
Come one and all to war to war.

Pounding feet, relentless rhythms
Bows are poised and swords drawn
Fear in heart but valour hold strong
Renown they’ll earn in verse and song.

Shields strong, their owners proud
Poised for battle, tall they stand
Horses paw the mud torn ground
Ever marching on.

Warriors of different nations
Weapons sharp of all creations
Soldiers hardened to battle
Charge! Charge and forth to war.
