Battle Poem

Short Description: 

Written ages ago. The first poem I entered a competition with.

Poem (Canso): 

Blood-worm bound to battle,
Bring to us a kindom.
Sing the sweetest death song;
Send unending crow cries. 

May the Midrealm prosper;
May the dragon never die. 

Swing yous sturdy short-swords;
Send your shield-walls walking.
Midrealm’s might makers,
Make your promise waken.

May the Midrealm prosper;
May the dragon never die.

Take with terror, turning
Tiger’s lies to turmoil.
Fealty feeds the faithful,
Fathers and sons made one.

May the Midrealm prosper;
May the dragon never die.

Beauty brings the bloodshed, 
Born of mean worn weary.
Destruction, the dawning;
Dynasties songs make last.

May the Midrealm prosper;
May the dragon never die.
