Staring at the shadows,
dancing on the wall,
cicrles within circles,
seals of blood and gall,
the darkness ever growing,
the dance of death attains,
the chains of puppet masters,
leased in fluid gains,
the inky darkness blackening,
The innocent of the war,
the hatred's chains ever thickening,
the red running in rivers down the flames,
The gnawing dark crescendo,
the crying's childs demise,
the flames of rage now melting,
The red metal's ironic reprise,
When the symphony of war is over,
only schemers claim the prize.
