They fall and burn as I
Stand breathing , they wither away ;
Shadows of ashes and dust,
I watch till nothing remains.
The whisper of demise and despair ,
Fiery eyes of monsters grey,
Blazing flames and claiming claws,
The reason , the teeth and prey.
Glaring it prowls with watching eyes
clanking chains and shackles of rage
snarls and moans in dungeons deep
Echo loud in light of day.
But through she walks exalted
Mighty as thunder and fey
Beauty and terror of wars faught fierce
She burns in furore brave.
She lays by my side and i see
Not all has truly been lost
Faith and fire that was never mine
Prey deep in her divine.
