Bandits and cowboys duked
Anger fuels raining hell
Green around the gills of war
Houses breed death not life
Dictators wither like mortal leaves
Angered by each other's presence
Dominance in the short term
Statesmen fell over
Acres of flat sand uprooted
Defiant and stubborn
Damned is the civil cradle
A land on the edge
Morality is pushed to a point
Roads lead to ruin
Eagles join a lion
Days bleed into years
Danger is paramount
Able to not save all
Welded in forges of steel
Nations far and wide assist
Columns leave in droves
Omens leave it open
Abrams rolls under Chinook
Locals became the vanguard
Ideas build entire realms
Tenacious fights bear fruit
In servitude to conduct
Only the wise and strong
Neighbors desire no part
Indistinct from the grocer
Noted to history for good
Victory seems out of reach
Actions speak volumes
Surrendering souls sulk
Icons rise and fall
Old rivals give way and remain
New forces look to seize
