Riddle

By Woad

A Man rises up
From the Wilderness.
Upon his brow- a clear crescent Moon,
Within his eyes- a fair burning Sun.

He rose alone,
Then finds sudden others,
A member then.

An army terrible to behold,
An army with banners,
An army with swords on the right,
And shields on the left.

Who am I?

    aahhh... dammit, i'm really unsure. my recurring image is that of the planet Earth; the armies being mankind...but as i said... i have my doubts... Very thought-provoking, to say the least...
