The hawks are flying

The woman are crying

The brave soldiers are dying

Where do men look when seeking peace in war?

Do they think upon the things worth fighting for?

Or does it come when a blade cuts them to the core?

I have often sat upon hollow hills watching the men below

Watched as enemies struck blow for blow

Seen war bring victors only hellish woe

Witnessed the undoing of kingdoms

The consigning of great kings into thralldoms

The fall of wisdom

For I am the End

I am the Wend

I am with whom you must contend

My name is Death
