The Battle of Bloody Run
By alesana
A silent wood forbids the sun from coming ever closer
Deep within,
a lake there lies in several shades of silver
In the darkest part
of this blackest lake, a beauty there resides
A siren of a
different sort - her ashen soul will sing
A haunting melody
of stories never told.
She cries and tries but never dies
and cannot reach the top
Rusted chains of the magic way bind her
to the floor
The best of demon warriors forever guard their
prize
A tale she tells of horrid things, of blood and hate
and evil:
On this day at Bloody Run, she weeps, took place
a ghastly battle
The fires flared, the fangs were bared, and
no one left alive
Across the bridge on Troubled Ridge there
was an ancient home
From there forth came a mass of creatures
- winged, dark, and deadly
Their eyes were grey, their crimson
lips drank only from this stream
In emptiness there lurked the
demons, hissing and stanced to fight
Their eagerness lay solely
in the impending chance to kill.
Both sides broke out in calls
of hate and shrieks of war and death
And hence they charged
with weapons drawn, no mercy in their minds
Into hearts of vile
intent, swords were plunged and twisted
No innocent that crossed
their paths was spared
Screams of pain and fury echoed throughout
this dreadful place
The river filled with crimson and with
black it ever flowed
At the end of night were foul smells and
bodies strewn about
By break of dawn no single trace was left
upon this cursed ground.
The siren then began to sob
- took the sun's breath away
Such beauty destroyed by a shattered
heart and all in one night's work
And only she, the unnoticed
witness, could ever speak these words
But chained here by Lucifer,
no one shall ever hear her cries.
