Mankind awoken, a world in despair In the fires of chaos, the battles declared Casting shadows of darkness, a ghastly charade As nations collide, their souls start to fade A tempest of hatred, unleashed by the blind Bombs rain from the heavens, leaving scars behind The echo of thunder, the cry of the oppressed The war machines awaken, as innocence is repressed Callous hands, wielding swords of scorn Withered hearts, innocence forlorn Lands ravaged, by the flames of wrath In this war of empires, destruction's aftermath Brothers turned enemies, a bitter divide Once bound by kinship, now gripped by pride The battlefield littered with lives come undone Amidst the chaos, a blackened Sun As the war-torn symphony reaches its crescend In the ashes of conflict, hopes and dreams lay low Yet amidst the darkness, a flicker of hope That humanity will rise, from this sorrow's slope
